The deal for Paulinho failed, but will likely be a topic again this summer. Inter are still looking for a proper reinforcement to the midfield. The hottest name at this time is Zdravko Kuzmanović: the incontrista from Stuttgart. His contract expires in June and he has experience from the Italian league. The 25-year-old Serb can be released from his contract for a sum of around 2 million. Meanwhile, his agent is in Stuttgart to complete the sale of his client. Our colleagues at fcinternews.it contacted him for an exclusive interview and to get an update on the situation:

You confirm that you are currently located in Stuttgart?
“Yes, I confirm that. I am here in Germany and I negotiate a sale of Zdravko.”

Serbian media have stated that the deal with Inter already is finished. Is it true?
“Absolutely not. There are still details left to resolve with Stuttgart and it’s not just Inter who is looking for the player.”

Other teams are chasing him?
“Yes, among those who are after him are Liverpool, Valencia and Olympique Marseille”

How likely is it that Inter can get him?
“In terms of the player’s perception, it is the one that fascinates Zdravko most. Economically, the other teams are offering more.”

Are you there to help with the transition to the Inter?
“No, I’m here to deal with Stuttgart. I do not know if he will leave now or in June. My interest is to satisfy my client’s wishes.”

When do we get more news?
“Today is a crucial day…”
