Inter-Milan: It’s war over Suazo
Inter chief Massimo Moratti has told Milan that they have not yet landed David Suazo. “The player has already signed for us,” he blasted.
The Cagliari star was expected to join the Italian champions this summer, but the Rossoneri have hijacked the move after striking an agreement with the Sant'Elia outfit late last night.
“There was no reason for this to happen seeing as there was already a deal with the Rossoblu,” noted Moratti on Tuesday.
“Nevertheless, we will have to see what happens now because the player has already signed for us.”
Sardinian chief Massimo Cellino claimed earlier today that talks with the Nerazzurri had collapsed after failing to get hold of Moratti over the last few days.
“He never called me,” responded the oil tycoon. “That’s a lie. I cannot justify Milan’s attitude either, although I know them well…”
Cagliari have defended their sale to Milan and sporting director Nicola Salerno insist they owe no explanation to Inter.
“The negotiations were ongoing and we needed to close the deal as soon as possible,” said the official to Sky Italia.
“The player had not signed and therefore there was no bond. Galliani and Cellino found an agreement and the deal was done.
“I will not discuss the financial details, all I will say is that there were some bureaucratic problems connected to the transfers of Marco Andreolli and Robert Acquafresca from Inter to us.”
Milan will reportedly pay £10m for Suazo after Marco Borriello refused to be included in a player plus cash switch.
