Inter prepare Barzagli swoop Thursday 28 June, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Cristian Chivu moves closer to Barcelona, it has been suggested that Inter will turn their attention to Palermo’s Andrea Barzagli.
Reports in the Italian Press state that Nerazzurri officials are talking to their Sicilian counterparts in a bid to secure the services of the Azzurri stopper.
After three impressive campaigns with the Rosanero, Barzagli is believed to be keen to join one of Italy’s giants and has a close relationship with Marco Materazzi.
There were frequent reports linking the 26-year-old with Juventus last season and even rumours that the two sides had agreed a deal, but no contract was signed.
If Chivu signs for Barcelona it is anticipated that Inter officials will immediately table an offer for the Tuscan, who is seen as the heir to Fabio Cannavaro in the Azzurri set-up.
Meanwhile, Adriano has reportedly been the victim of an attempted blackmail scam while on holiday in Brazil.
Sources close to L’Imperatore insist that two men approached his agent threatening to frame the troubled star for drug dealing unless they received payment.
After the arrival of David Suazo, Adriano’s future is in the balance with rumours that he may be offered in a swap deal for Real Madrid’s Mahamadou Diarra.
I hate Inter Milan

I hate Inter Milan
we also read about meira but today it is reported that they want 20mil for him.... Barzagli is underrated on this forums. The top coaches hold Barzagli in very high esteem. Marcello Lippi put the kid on his WC roster. Sure he only had limited playing time, but Lippi had a number of other options he could have chosen. Lippi knew the skill level of this kid and the fact that he is wise beyond his years. Put Barzagli in our defence and we will be ok. No matter who we sign... we will need a good player next to him. As I have mentioned at nauseum, we need 2 CB's becuase we have no good ones on our current roster. Not even Milito or Cannavaro alone would be a good enough solution.
...i think Barza is a gr8 defensive talent and is def worth it...dunno wtf management is upto we have been strongly linked to him since last season's winter break...but now if Inter mofos start to interfere they will be serious problem...those fools will do anything to beat us to a player
1. Barzagli is Tuscan and has emotional attachment to Fiorentina
2. Inter Milan has the money, his former Azzurri teammate Materazzi and Champions League.
3. Juventus has prestige and a starting sport with his name on it.
I hope he chooses option 3.
