Gossip: Inter want Suarez and Aguero…

Sarah Winterburn

INTER FLEX THEIR MUSCLES
Basically they want big names and we don’t just mean big names like Samir Handanović, Andrea Ranocchia and Assane Demoya Gnoukouri, we mean Luis Suarez, Sergio Aguero and James Rodriguez.  After being taken over by Chinese investors Suning Holdings Group, money is apparently no object for Inter Milan. Money may not be an issue, but convincing players to leave clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester just might. Even if they get their wish and bring in Diego Simeone as manager.

“We want to take Inter back to the top of the world,” said Zhang Jindong, Suning’s chairman. Why not go for Ronaldo and Gareth Bale? If reports are to be believed, they are about to cost just £750,000 a week each in wages. Ouch.

 

MEMPHIS TO WOLFSBURG
Well, they have rid themselves of Nicklas Bendtner so they have a space in their squad for a brilliant but feckless footballer in a flash car. German newspaper Bild claim that Memphis – who recently said he was like a ‘loaded gun’ – is a target for the German side who have started the season badly with just six points from six games so far.

The 22-year-old Dutchman has made just three substitute appearances under Jose Mourinho this season and has found it difficult to break into United’s first team. Memphis  has struggled to make the impact he was tipped to make after his £25million move from PSV Eindhoven last year.

Elsewhere, Goal claim that United are struggling to offload Matteo Darmian in January so may be stuck with him until the summer.

 

LIVERPOOL BACK FOR RUBEN NEVES
Liverpool have been in contact again with Porto midfielder Ruben Neves’ agent, according to reports in Italy. The Reds are believed to have made attempts to land the 19-year-old in the summer and now Italian outlet Calciomercato say Liverpool and Chelsea have both enquired about the availability of the player, who has a €40million release clause.

It’s probably balls.

 

AND THE REST
Chelsea are keen to sign 16-year-old Marseille defender Boubacar Kamara…Bayern Munich and Real Madrid both hope to sign 16-year-old Luxembourg midfielder Vincent Thill…Liverpool are set to hand 17-year-old forward Ben Woodburn a three-year professional contract…West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis is already planning for the January transfer window and hopes to sign one or two players.
