Samir-Handanovic_-në-_radarët-_e_-Romës

Gazzetta dello Sport reports in today’s paper that talks between Inter and Samir Handanovic regarding an extension of the Slovenian goalkeepers contract are continuing.

According to the Milano-based paper, a month ago Inter offered Handanovic € 2,7 million until June 2019, which is a substantial raise to his current € 2 million plus bonuses. Handanovic’s entourage have made a counter-offer of € 3 million but the money isn’t what’s on the goalkeeper’s mind as he wants to play in the Champions League next season.

Gazzetta reports that here Mancini is expected to play a pivotal role in convincing Handanovic to stay, the same way he managed to convince Shaqiri and Podolski to choose Inter despite fierce competition from other clubs. Mancini expects Inter not to participate in Europe next season which means that he will be able to focus all attention to the Serie A in order to finish in the top 3, which is why he made the statement that Inter will be fighting for the scouted next season.
