Former head of the Juventus scouting team, Franco Ceravolo spoke to Sportitalia about Inter’s transfer market today: “It is normal that Spalletti doesn’t want to express himself in order to protect his players. What I said about losing his players was just a joke. Inter are already very active in the market with Piero Ausilio and Walter Sabatini. Inter are a team that have to get a UEFA Champions League place this season and are perfectly capable of doing so.”

The former Napoli chief scout also spoke about where Inter might be looking during the window stating: “They won’t let any opportunities pass them by. I think they will make an important signing. I’m sure they buy someone in this window.” He was then asked what possibility there was of Paris St. Germain midfielder, Javier Pastore joining Inter in this window: “Pastore has a significant wage at the moment at Paris St. Germain but I think they can come to an agreement somewhere. I think a deal could be done in a matter of just a few days most likely in the form of a loan.”
