Pizarro may leave Inter, says agent
Monday 23 January, 2006
David Pizarro could quit Inter at the end of the season if he isn’t guaranteed first team football, warned his agent on Monday.
"We must now wait and see how the club act on the transfer market to understand the situation," Fernando Hidalgo told Spq Radio.
"If things stay as they are right now then David will ask to be sold."
The Chilean international was netted for around £8m from Udinese in the summer, but has so far rarely featured.
Boss Roberto Mancini favours an Esteban Cambiasso and Juan Veron partnership in midfield, a decision which has seen the playmaker look on from the sidelines.
Although Hidalgo did open the door for a possible exit, he has also admitted that Veron’s likely return to Argentina in the summer could give David a chance to shine.
"Inter made the choice to sign Pizarro with thoughts of the post-Veron period," added the representative.
"David wants to play and Inter see him as part of the future seeing as Veron should be leaving.
"The club are counting on him as they don’t want to have such an expensive signing not playing for them."
Should a split occur though, Roma are keen on reinforcing their squad with Pizarro in the summer, once their transfer ban expires, as boss Luciano Spalletti successfully worked alongside him at Udine.

I know that Pizarro hasn't been directly linked to Juve since this past summer but if he's going to leave Inter then Moggi should seriously consider a move for him. We could really use a central midfielder with creativity and David Pizarro fits that bill. What do you guys think?
