Reports: Inter's huge Hamsik offer
Thursday 8 January, 2009
Inter could break the bank to try and bring Napoli midfield star Marek Hamsik to San Siro.
The Italian champions flirted with Slovakian international Hamsik during the summer, but were told he was not for sale at any price.
However, the ex-Brescia man continues to dazzle Serie A supporters and remains a target for the Nerazzurri.
There are now reports in Tuttosport that Inter are preparing a mega bid for Hamsik that Napoli would be unable to refuse.
This alleged offer would see Brazilian star Amantino Mancini join Napoli on loan for the rest of the season and a fee of around £35m change hands.
Although Vesuviani chief Aurelio De Laurentiis is determined to keep hold of his key men, he would struggle to dismiss such a sum of money.
These reports seem somewhat far-fetched, however, as Mancini only arrived at Inter last summer, signing a big-money deal.

Eboue admits Inter link
Wednesday 7 January, 2009
Emmanuel Eboue confirms that he would be interested in a move to Inter after transfer gossip flared up around the Arsenal man again.
“I have been linked with Inter before, but at the moment I am happy at Arsenal,” the versatile player told skysports.com.
“I am fighting to reach the level I was at in 2006. I have been the victim of many injuries and that is why I have not been consistent enough. But I will fight and prove my worth to the fans.
“I am happy at the club. Inter are a great club as well, but I don't know what will happen. Let's wait and see.”
Eboue is the latest Premier League man to be linked with Jose Mourinho’s Nerazzurri outfit in recent weeks.
The connection between Mourinho and Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is well known, but there have also been stories of interest in Michael Owen.
Of these rumours, the Eboue one holds by far the most weight, especially after the player’s own comments today.
He is more likely to seek a January transfer after jeered by his own fans during a recent performance against Wigan.
