It might seem like Inter has given up on signing Napoli-striker Ezequeil Lavezzi, since todays purchase of Rodrigo Palacio. Fcinternews.it claims this to not be the case. The striker Giampaolo Pazzini is now considered to be an alternative to bring Lavezzi to Inter. The objective is to use Pazzini as part of the payment, along with Goran Pandev. Because of the weak season for Il Pazzo this year, it is not that unlikely for him to leave, since Andrea Stramaccioni has confirmed that he is not keen to play with Milito and Pazzini as starters together.
