Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Inter are preparing to make a new attempt to try to sign Sporting’s Portuguese midfielder Joao Mario.
According to the report, Inter’s new owners have given Sporting Director Piero Ausilio the go ahead to try to snap the player from Sporting. Di Marzio reports that “Ausilio is in contact with the player’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, who has stated that “Sporting need to renew Joao Mario’s contract soon, he is a champion and he has declined many offers, one of which came from Inter. Either a renewal is discussed, otherwise it’s a transfer.” A solution to unblock the complicated deal is being looked at but Inter are yet again working seriously to try to sign Joao Mario.”
