Inter stage clear-out sale
Sunday 2 January, 2005
Reports in Italy suggest that Inter will thin out their huge squad by selling almost a dozen players during the January window.
Coach Roberto Mancini has run into problems so far this season due to the sheer number of star names looking for more first team football.
It’s a situation that has pushed the likes of Edgar Davids, Marco Materazzi, Julio Ricardo Cruz, Andy van der Meyde and Euro 2004 winner Giorgios Karagounis on to the sidelines – and to the end of their tethers.
The January transfer window provides the club with the opportunity to thin the herd and find a regular starting eleven, so several internationals are on their way out of the San Siro.
Davids is said to be looking for an overseas switch back to Barcelona, where he spent six very successful months on loan last year, or the Premiership, although Roma provide a very intriguing alternative.
If the Dutchman has trouble getting into the squad, then it leaves precious little hope for the youth team players, so Rebecchi and Beati will be loaned out to smaller sides.
Karagounis has been linked with Bologna, where he would reunite with Greek teammate Theo Zagorakis, while Kily Gonzalez has long been tracked by Premiership giants Arsenal and Manchester United.
There are also problems upfront, as Alvaro Recoba confessed to newspapers that he engaged in a furious row with Mancini during a training session. He doesn’t fit in with the tactical set-up and ‘Il Chino’ is set for a loan move to either Palermo or Sampdoria – hooking up with his former Venezia boss Walter Novellino.
Fiorentina are tracking Julio Ricardo Cruz and Andy van der Meyde, though the Dutch winger is more interested in the Premiership or a return home.
Despite their defensive problems this season, the Nerazzurri have an abundance of players for every role in that area of the pitch. Marco Materazzi and summer signing Nicolas Andre Burdisso have managed just a handful of appearances so far, while Giovanni Pasquale and Francesco Coco have been beset by injuries. Parma and Lazio are keeping an eye on their progress.
With Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar’s agent telling newspapers, “all we are missing to complete the Inter move is a medical,” this leaves precious little room for Fabian Carini. Joining from Juventus in a swap deal with Fabio Cannavaro this summer, the Uruguayan shot-stopper looks set for a switch to Cagliari.
