Nicola Giuliani is an important name in the deal that brought Lukas Podolski to Inter, having served as an intermediary for the Nerazzurri. And through the microphones of the Gianluca Di Marzio site, Giuliani tells some background of the deal:
“The operation was born from the desire of Roberto Mancini to have a strong outside attacker. I am on good terms with Podolski’s agent and I immediately let Roberto know that I could give him a hand to take Podolski to Inter. Even Ausilio immediately agreed and the deal went immediately to the right direction. It was also the first real market operation with Mancini at Inter. The parts were well-versed, worked calmly, and avoided the high risk of an ascending price auction.”
Giuliani does not deny the influence of the new Inter coach: “I do not hide that the presence of Roberto Mancini as Inter coach had been crucial up to 99% for the choice of the player. With him, the club hired a winning image. I do not hide that were it the old Inter (of Mazzarri) the player would not have moved. I am convinced that Inter has made one of the best shots available on the market and I do not think it will stop here. Italy needs to bring champions at this level back to Serie A. He’s a player with certain issues (play time) and I think that Inter was the perfect bond. Inter are definitely going to be able to use him for their recovery in the league.”
Inter are wasting no time ensuring all the documents are ready from Arsenal in order to have the player available against Juventus on Tuesday.
Author’s note: I knew this had to be a big part of it, and here is confirmation. To any who were wishing Mazzarri stayed…

Podolski to me was huge signing and if we do get Shaqiri, this transfermarket is going to be massive! 10/10!
I’m sure Mazzarri is a good coach in Italy but when Mancini came in, he showed what it is to be world class! Players are actually coming here because of him. If we don’t manage to reach Champions League this season we are surely going to be there after next season.
We are heading into right direction and the future does seem bright for us.
FORZA NERAZZURRI!!! FORZA MANCIO!!
I don’t know is true or not but i feel that Mancini has full support of our management. He said:” I want wide players” and now, we got Podolski and working hard on Shaciri or Salah/Lavezzi. I’ve remembered when Mazzari was on the helm, he’d wanted offensive fullbacks like Isla, Suniga, ect., but nobody brought them, instead they are much cheaper compare to Shaciri, let say. This means in my view, that our hierarchy wasn’t convinced enough from Mazzari’s prospect and his vision for Inter’s growth.
becauase mancini did things for inter that only mazzari could dream of , mazzari is better of training some mediocre team in serie a
Yes I think it’s true!
Tnx ET for the right choise at the right time.
lol but of course. who is mazzarri compared to mancio? nobody!
Leave WM out of this! If he still here we might have a chance to sign the best midfielder in the world, BEHRAMI!
Could be worse…
If Mazzari still was in charge we would get players like amauri or pelissier….good quality attackers..i miss mazzari…..nnnnoooootttttttt!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha you forgot Floccari, or Moscardelli, the king of kings
wkwkwkw dont forget about jhon carew again..and massimo macarrone instead
Isn’t it Mazzari who strongly want Osvaldo, and he become one of our better player this season.
aaaannd behrami,p.cannavaro,zuniga and the whole his old napoli team
This is so right…
