some more Figo news.

Figo recommended Serie A
by Nadia Carminati - created on 16 Jul 2005

Figo's future at Real Madrid is currently unclear after losing his first-team place at El Santiago Bernabeu.

Rui Costa knows Figo is unhappy in Madrid and believes he should consider joining Inter if an offer comes to fruition.

"I spoke to him before the summer holidays," said Rui Costa to Corriere dello Sport. "Even then I understood that he wasn't feeling good at Real.

"I hope he will come to Milan. It's clear the feeling between him and Real is not the same it was in the past.

"Figo at Inter? Yes, I'd be happy for him as a friend, but not as an opponent. Surely Inter is one is the most interesting offers for him."

MORATTI: "SWAP DEAL RUMOUR PURE FANTASY"
Sunday, 17 July 2005 21:59:02

MILAN - "Me in Madrid tomorrow? I really don't think so," said Massimo Moratti to Inter.it in reply to rumours spread by websites and news agencies today about a trip to Spain on Monday. And on the subject of a swap deal with Real Madrid involving Adriano, Moratti was just as clear. "Pure fantasy. Fantasy football," he said.

Inter close to Real pair
Monday 18 July, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Real Madrid duo of Walter Samuel and Luis Figo will join Internazionale by the end of this week.

The two men have been linked with the Serie A giants for some time and Football Italia understands that talks will be wrapped up by Wednesday.

Although Inter chief Massimo Moratti has denied reports that he will be flying to Madrid to conclude talks personally, an agreement for both players is on the horizon.

Real emissaries and FIFA agents Ernesto Bronzetti and Peppino Tirri will today resume their work in an effort to finalise the last minor details.

Figo, a Portuguese international winger, will arrive on a free transfer as his Real contract expires next summer.

The former European Footballer of the Year will sign a two-year contract at the San Siro worth around £2.5m a season.

It’s still unclear whether Samuel will arrive on loan or whether he will be signed outright by the Nerazzurri.

The main delay in the Argentine’s transfer is that the Spanish giants are struggling to sign a replacement.

However, once they do finally bring in a new stopper then the former Roma man will make his return to Serie A.

==================================

Even though I'm not all hyped up about Figo joining, I guess he will be a good addition. I still question whether he will be able to play as well in the Serie A though.

But the thing that bothers me the most is the amount of players that will have to be moved just to make space for him. Van der Meyde is pretty much doomed, and I'm betting Karagounis might leave as well, unless if Kily is sold and Stankovic switches to the LW to fight for a spot against Solari.

And then there was The Wall. Hopefully, oh hopefully, his transfered is wrapped up this week because I'm sick of waiiting. The longer things go on, the greater chance of talks completely breaking down. But I'm still hoping by the end (of this week) that Figo and Samuel will be training with the rest of the guys at Riscone di Brunico.

Ballack to the future
Monday 18 July, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter have reportedly convinced Michael Ballack to leave Bayern Munich for the San Siro outfit in the summer of 2006.

The German international will be a free agent next July and he has already hinted that he is looking for a new club.

"I am very happy here but I think the time has arrived for me to try playing for a great European club," he recently stated. "It is a question of stimulus."

Stories in the peninsula on Monday morning claim that the Nerazzurri have already struck a deal with the central midfielder.

The former Bayer Leverkusen sensation, who has spent the last five years with Bayern, has been tempted by Inter’s three-year contract offer.

Ballack, who will be hoping to lead his country to World Cup glory next summer, has been linked with Inter in the past.

It is believed that Ballack has been targeted given that Juan Sebastian Veron has made no secret of his desire to return to Argentina in 12 months.

Nerazzurri fans will be hoping that Ballack can make as a big an impact as Lothar Matthaus. The legendary German helped the club win their last Scudetto in 1989.

======================================

Ballack to Inter? As a free agent? Awesome. I actually believe that this might be true. Imagine Ballack joining early next year as perhaps our first addition. That sure would be something. Hopefully it's true.

Inter warn Zanetti admirers
Monday 18 July, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter have labelled Cristiano Zanetti as "untransferable" after the midfielder was linked with a move to Fiorentina.

The player’s future at the San Siro has been put into doubt following the arrival of David Pizarro from Udinese.

But the Italian giants insist that the former Roma ace, who is also liked by Juventus, is not for sale.

"The player is not on the market and that won’t change even if an offer arrives," director Lele Oriali told the Fiorentina.it website.

"He is a player who Inter regard as absolutely untransferable, therefore he will not be leaving the city of Milan.

"Fiorentina? I’m not aware of any offer but even if one did arrive it would not be considered by us."

While a Florence move for Zanetti seems to have been ruled out, Reggina’s Santos Mozart is still a possible target.

========================

Other then Cambiasso, CZ is our only DM. Selling him is out of the question. Especially if we can get our midfield to look like this:

LW: Stankovic, Solari
DM: Cambiasso, C. Zanetti
CM: Veron, Pizarro
RW: Figo, Karagounis

Out: Kily, Davids, Van der Meyde

Inter on Ballack's trail
by Nadia Carminati - created on 18 Jul 2005

Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Ballack is being courted by Internazionale.

The Germany international's future is uncertain as he only has 12 months remaining on his contract at the Allianz Arena.

Ballack has refused to sign an extension and has hinted at a desire to leave Die Bundesliga after next year's World Cup in his homeland.

Reports in Italy claim that Inter are hoping to sign Ballack on a free transfer next summer and have already settled on a general accord with the 28-year-old.

Bayern's top brass are determined to cajole Ballack into signing a new contract and club president, and former Inter star, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has added his voice to the debate.

"We hope to convince Ballack to sign the contract extension and stay with us," said Rummenigge.

"We know about his will to have new experiences. Me, too, at the age of 29 I chose a new experience in Italy.

"Bayern's plans are centred on Ballack and they are the same for the future, too. We will see."

Inter are ready to offer the former Bayer Leverkusen ace a three-year contract but could face competition from Manchester United.

The Red Devils have been strongly linked with the free-scoring Ballack with Sir Alex Ferguson keen to add an experienced midfielder to his squad.

Rumours suggest that United officials will meet their Bayern counterparts in Japan at the end of the month with both clubs playing pre-season friendlies in the capital Tokyo.

Ballack's agent Michael Becker could also be in the Far East for discussions but concedes he is not going to be embroiled in a protracted saga.

Becker told tz: "I am not going to go out there for a negotiation marathon."

As interesting as it would be to add Ballack, I've thought about it and I guess it'd be best if we didn't. He'd want to start and with Cambiasso deserving a spot, and Pizarro already brought in to replace Veron, there wouldn't be a point to sign him. It's also unlikely that Mancini will switch to a diamond formation so that all 3 of them could play.

But who knows? This summer isn't over and there's a whole year before he could sign. Perhaps other moves will be made to clear up space.

I would most certainly choose Ballack over Cambiasso. Not saying Cambiasso isn't good because he is, but I believe Ballack is definitely better.

Moratti and Moggi met together yesterday. the italian press is saying a Zambro-C.Zanetti mightve been discussed (Moggi cant be that stupid), but I think a C.Z-Chiellini trade could be possible. (C)

Figo has stayed with Real for trip to China now as well. I can see him just playing one more season for Real.

why do juve even want CZ when they already have Viera, Emerson, Blasi, Giannichedda and Tacchinardi there already? they need some AM depth, i smell some boolsh*t in the air.

Inter would be crazy to give Figo that much money. Unless he accepts half of that, its not worth it. He'll remain at Real. I think $16M is about right for Walter
