Il Corriere dello Sport also reports about a possible signing of Ezequiel Lavezzi for Inter. Considering the problems that exist in the attack (Icardi and Milito have injury problems while Belfodil hasn’t yet come into his own) Mazzarri wants to reinforce the team with a attacker. “The coach wants a secunda punta who can score goals because with Palacio as a central striker has ‘adapted’ Guarin and Kovacic at that position, but with a more reliable player at the position Inter would make a serious bid for qualification for next season’s Champions League.”
“In the famous list of eight players which has been delivered to the directors there’s the name Pocho from PSG, who this year has been given less space because of Cavani’s arrival. The sheikhs of Qatar paid 30 million for him in the summer of 2012, and it will be difficult to buy him at a discounted rate given that he also has a contract that expires in 2016. The only viable solution is a loan. Lavezzi has never hidden his fascination for Milan, a city where he already has many friends. The people around him have said that he likes Paris, but to resist the lure of Milan is not easy because the Argentine colony in Pinetina is large and consists of old friends, including captain Javier Zanetti, who he adores.”
The magazine also gives three reasons why a deal could happen: “1) During a year with a World Cup Lavezzi has to play and if he, from now until the opening of the transfer market, gets too little playing time at PSG, he could request a temporary move to shine in Series A; 2) Mazzarri made him better in Napoli and there is no better coach to convince Sabella to bring him to Brazil. Mazzarri and Pocho has also been talking on the phone recently.” 3) The French directors are looking for a goalkeeper with great skills for next season and Handanovic is one of the names on the list. Redirecting Lavezzi to Inter would be a way to book the Slovenian for June when the former Udinese player could be used to get the full ownership of Lavezzi.”
