Inter Milan is preparing to accelerate their pursuit of Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, with the Italian international emerging as their primary target to become the club's long-term number one.
Inter Milan have begun planning for the possible departure of Alessandro Bastoni to Barcelona, drawing up a list of reinforcements ahead of next season. The 26-year-old Italian international is the priority target for the Blaugrana heading into the summer transfer window.
Having served a ban while at Spurs and having now returned to Serie A to become Fiorentina's sporting director, Paratici gave a long interview to Corriere della Sera in which he revealed that he was actually very close to joining. 'Not in talks. We had closed the deal. Twice in the space of a fortnight, all that was missing was a signature. Then they told me it was over.'
The Italian championship is very nice and difficult, with excellent coaches and very strong teams. For circumstances that I cannot know, the Italian national team is not making, however, at the club level, I have a lot of respect for Italy.
