Alfredo Pedullà reports updates on the background of the deal that could bring Fantantonio back to his favorite team.
“The contact in the last hours was profitable,” proclaims the journalist. “Antonio Cassano and his agent Bozzo spoke with Inter. And have reiterated his availability most to Inter. What was said between Cassano and Inter? They will have an appointment Monday. Inter will make the latest assessment, then will have a meeting in Milan. It is true that Fantantonio would have just under a month to settle down after the resolution with Parma, but it is also true that the Nerazzurri are in a hurry for many reasons. We will have certainty when Osvaldo leaves: the only striker that would be added is Cassano, as we have told you for days. Today is the day. The other possibilities for the future of Antonio? They might come back into fashion only if Inter pulls out. But after the last contact, the situation is quite well defined. Monday will see a meeting and a quick decision. Cassano expects the Inter yes, everything else is now in the background.”
The deal would see Cassano back at Inter for a six-month spell with an option to extend his contract to a further year based on performances.

What do you think of the news? What are your opinions on seeing Cassano in an Inter jersey again? Comment below.
Yes we need him as a sub and a tutor for Thohir’s youthful project. He is still good and a real Interista. He loves this club. I remember, unfortunately, in the past, he joined us in the worst transition period. It will be different now. I also remember his lack of strength and smartness were usefull as a way to win free kick. So it would be benefit to see more free kick from poldi or xhaqiri. I think he will be sub of poldi or kova. It will be nice to see him under Mancini’s guidance and his system. Cheers !
so we will see old Japanese bow, him with Naga, can’t wait.
Would love him back – but in what role? A trequesta behind Icardi – which leaves Kova where? On the wing? Or should Cass play on the wing like Hernanes did before christmas with freedom to rome with Kova in the midle or???
leave it to mancini just relax and enjoy watching fantantonio
It wouldnt be a bad idea to bring back Cassano thats familiar with the club and is coming in a free transfer. He would be beneficial with the development young players like Puscas and Kovicic. He will also be a X-Factor on the pitch helping with the creative help up front for Palacio, Poldolski and Icardi, as well as knocking some goals for the nerazzurri. Now with Osvaldo wanting to go to Juve Inter could make a deal with them involving the underrated versatile Argentine midfielder Roberto Pereyra that has qualities and a skill set similar to that of the Chilean Arturo Vidal. It can’t be a player swap because both players are owned by other clubs but if the two clubs are able to convince there parent club for a swap trade it could be possible. Pereyra’s parent club Udinese is already doing business with Inter for Jaiison Murillo which isn’t from Udinese but Owners the Pozzo family are owners of Watsford, Granada and Udinese. Osvaldo on the other hand parent club Southhampton want nothing to do with him because of the same issue are facing at this time his attitude and temper on the pitch. This would be a win win situation for both clubs, not like that horrible proposed player swap last season for Vucinic and Guarin.
So shaqiri’s number is 91, brozo 77 and cassano 99… O.o
nagatomo 55 , but we will sell bonazzoli 97
XD
I like Cassano, he’s an Interista and I didn’t want to get rid of him when we had him. But now I feel like this is a wasted signing. How good will he be off the bench at his age? Whats the point in getting rid of Osvaldo if all we’re doing is bringing in a more temperamental player who will be less useful to the team
So you don’t want an extra forward who’s a free agent and has experience and is in good form?
some fans logic
Remember he did very good at Inter until Mazzarri came in and send him of. He is past those bad temper days, he doesn’t act with team mates like does Osvaldo. And he can unlock matches really easy. I would take him over Podolski every day. He is a bit older,but he knows Italian Football like no one in our team does right now, remember while Podolski hasn’t shown much until now and it is a question mark if he will adjust to Italian Football.
for 500k, it would be a good deal and addition to the squad.
usually in that price range we only will get 2nd class backup players (Carrizo loan for 300k, or Rocchi for 400k, and that excluding their salary).
