Marco Andreolli has been rumoured to be of interest to Inter for quite some time now when transfermarket expert Gianluca Di Marzio comes with a detailed explanation of how the situation stands regarding the centre-half when he through his homepage published the following: “Marco Andreolli will be this transfer-windows most sought-after player. His contract with Chievo is due to expire in June, Juventus want him to reinforce their defence. Chievo on the other hand are reluctant to sell the player in January although we have to pay attention to the loose cannon Napoli who is in a desparate search for a central defender and therfore can sacrifice a lot of money for a player whose contract is set to expire soon. Meanwhile there is a background story with Milan: this past summer Galliani had practically wrapped up a deal for the player worth 3.3 million €. Then he recieved a phone call from Sporting Director Sartori and chose to sign Zapata instead and the Andreolli transfer cooled off.”
