It’s the final hours of the Winter Mercato and Inter maintains their grip on Javier Pastore, despite his appearance in a French Cup game last night which caused him to be substituted at the start of the second half due to “muscle contractions”. Or was this simply his final match in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt?
La Gazzetta dello Sport confrims that a 5 million initial loan payment would be acceptable for PSG but all parties are still waiting for Suning’s confirmation. Ausilio, Sabatini and Gardini have confidence but just incase, the three worked late into the night on alternatives, such as Gaitan, Correa and Lamela, none of which are simple acquisitions.
Interisti and Luciano Spalletti have been calling out for a new midfielder since the start of the market, particularly one to fill the void of trequartista after Inter’s recent goal drought. Pastore would offer Inter dynamism in attack, making them less predictable. Questions will no doubt be asked if the deal does not go through.
