Inter is now going all in for Lukas Podolski since the loss of Alessio Cerci to Milan.

Matteo Barzaghi spoke on Sport Mediaset of a FIFA agent shuttling between London and Liverpool to facilitate business related primarily with the German attacker. Inter and Arsenal have already reached a draft agreement. An eye is always fixed on Liverpool for Lucas Leiva, but now perhaps more as well for Mario Balotelli. The striker could be subject of a player-swap with Fredy Guarin. Such a move would represent a response back to the Rossoneri. Brendan Rodgers admitted yesterday that the Italian “does not suit our style of play,” and this could be a signal toward a move away.

For the midfield, names such as Lassana Diarra, and Allan are being mooted, but there is a new entry as well. Luca Cigarini of Atalanta is being tracked as well.

Author’s note: Decisions, decisions, decisions. I’m just loving all of this. I want to see Poldi ready for Juventus on the 6th. Oooooh that would be nice.

Who do you rate out of the names mentioned? Would you be up for the Balotelli – Guarin exchange? Let us know below! j
