Inter Reject Recoba/Saviola Swap
Inter have told Barcelona that they will not swap Alvaro Recoba for Javier Saviola this summer.
The Nou Camp outfit were reportedly ready to offer the Argentine in a desperate attempt to net the Nerazzurri star.
But Inter chief Massimo Moratti, who is a massive fan of the Uruguayan, wants to keep hold of the 28-year-old.
The Spaniards were hopeful that a deal could have been agreed given a number of circumstances.
Both players earn roughly the same amount of money, around £2.5m a season, which wouldn’t have caused a problem.
The two men could have also been tempted to move after difficult campaigns with their respective clubs last season.
However, it seems that Inter are hopeful that the arrival of Roberto Mancini as Coach will finally see Recoba live up to his potential.
==========================
Big mistake in my opinion. Saviola has always been one of my favs, and a partnership with Vieri/Adriano would be perhaps the best in the world. Both clubs as well as the players would all benefit from this swap
Ive always felt Recoba symbolized the club. A clearly talented player, that always seems to dissapoint, and before every campaign ppl wonder, 'will this be his year?' You could say the same things about Inter.
