Inter Give Up On Quaresma

[Lunatic]

According to sources in Italy, Inter Milan have given up all hope of signing Porto’s Ricardo Quaresma after failing to agree a transfer fee.

Despite all the rumours and counter-rumours that seem to accompany every big transfer nowadays, it is widely accepted that Inter had lined up Quaresma as Luis Figo's long term replacement at San Siro.

The Nerazzurri have been in negotiations to sign the skilful winger for quite some time now, and it was even, wrongly, reported a week or so ago that the transfer had been completed.

However, it seems that all hope of the transfer going through has ended, as sources in Italy claim that due to Porto’s excessive price demands, Inter have given up on their chase for Quaresma.

This comes as a bit of a blow to new coach Jose Mourinho, who is looking to sign two wide players so he can implement his favourite 4-3-3 formation.

He does look likely to sign one winger though in the form of Roma’s Amantino Mancini, with reports in the peninsula claiming that the transfer will be completed by the end of today.


damn

wonder if he will look at joe cole as he is one name not mentioned in the press but he was one of jose's main players at chelsea

Porto is my favorite team and Quaresma is my favorite player BUT it is time he leaves; I want to see him become a superstar player and that is not going to happen for him if he remains playing against the competition in Portugal.

[KURUPTION-81]

Quaresma is a great player but i don't think he has the talent to be a Superstar. I think if he could have been Barca would have tried to keep a hold of him or put a clause in his porto contract (a buy back clause)

But who knows. i hope im proved wrong because we all want to see great football but i just have doubts

The transfer saga has been running all summer, with the Portuguese club reluctant to accept anything less than €27m for the midfielder.

Quaresma doesn’t seem like a part of the Dragoes plans any longer and he is finally on his way.

Tuttomercatoweb claims officials from Porto are currently negotiating with Inter chiefs in Milan as they attempt to bring the drama surrounding Quaresma’s future to an end.

Pele is going to be inserted into the deal and the Nerazzurri are likely to offer Porto between €18m and €20m.

It is believed the deal will be completed and made official later tonight with an announcement from both clubs expected.

Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the midfielder and, after having lost out when it came to Frank Lampard, the ‘Special One’ will not be looking to let Quaresma slip through on this occasion.

The midfield is strong, powerful, quick and he will fit in well the Nerazzurri’s three-man attacking midfield.
