Lucas Leiva could seriously be on his way to Inter.
The move looks more and more possible as now FIFA agents are working on bringing the 27 year-old to Inter on loan without obligation to buy. The Brazilian defensive midfielder has been at Liverpool since 2007 and has amassed 256 appearances, with seven goals.
Mancini spoke on the Brazilian recently:
“Midfield: Lucas Leiva? Capoue? The Brazilian is always great, his experience there would be helpful. But he’s always Liverpool’s…we’ll see. The clubs do not give up easily,” said Inter’s manager.
FcInternews.it has revealed that the brokers are working on a loan deal with the right, not the obligation to purchase at the end of the season. One stumbling block could definitely be his salary, which is just under €4 million. Come January, negotiations could pick up.

How do you feel about Leiva at Inter? Do you think he’s the right fit? How would he look in your starting lineup?
How much Liverpool will gonna paid to us for help to getting rid this pure wood Lucas Leiva? 4 million salary, that’s isn’t even funny!
Pure wood ? Seriously ?
good but with reduced salary
Fine fine – but he needs to lower his saloury demands! But him and Medel/Mvila could really work! He is the defensive playmaker we have needed for a while and Kova will be our attacking playmaker!
I think that M’Vila is still a good player and can easily regain his form if given the chance. So if that happens, we will have too much defensive midfielders and could have invested the money elsewhere. I don’t think we should focus on midfielders. We should focus this mercato on wingers and fullbacks. Also, 4 million €? Aw hell naw. He will need atleast half reduced salary for it to be considered reasonable(considering Inter’s current state).
