Inter continues to push for Atletico Madrid’s Mario Suarez. The Spaniard, given the difficulty for Lucas Leiva, seems to have become the number one objective in order to strengthen Mancini’s midfield and this is confirmed by La Gazzetta dello Sport: “In the last hours contacts between Inter and Colchoneros have continued to try to bridge the gap between offer and demand. The Nerazzurri offer to loan the player for 2 million plus 11 for redemption. The plot is thickening and the one who suffers the most of the consequences is Lucas Leiva, who was informed (like Liverpool) that Inter needs a few days of time to sort out the issue. This does not mean that the Brazilian no longer of interest because Mancini wants two midfielders and along with Suarez Inter could also get to Leiva. Then, on the list there is also Paulinho (scored for Tottenham yesterday) and Lassana Diarra.”
