Joao Mario could yet make the switch to Inter despite the Nerazzurri’s so far unsuccessful attempts to sign the Euro 2016 winner.
Inter have already had a €35million bid rejected according to reports, but another assault may yet be coming from the San Siro club.
A Bola – a Portuguese tabloid – states that Roberto Mancini is still eager to sign the player before the window shuts.
There was a real possibility of Mario joining Jiangsu Suning according to reports, who of course are now affiliated with Inter due to the new takeover.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain also closely monitoring the player’s situation and are hot on the tail of the 23-year-old, with the London club believed to be in pole position.
The new figure being quoted for Joao is €45million – that is the amount Inter will have to stump up to secure the player, even though it is below the release clause set by Sporting.
Sporting’s President Bruno De Carvalho is not keen on parting with the midfielder either, meaning plenty is still to do for Inter to keep the deal alive.
This(Mario) a real star in the mid field for his talent and age. Worth every cent. Not the over rated kondogbia. Who Mancini had to rest on the bench because of lack of performance, criticism and fear of the players image and future.
INTER Must get Witsel & Candreva if we want to win something this year. Juve is getting world class players and Inter management is just observing the market without spending a dollar.
all the Portuguese inflation put to the side, he is a warrior a monster a gladiator
I really don’t understand why 60m release clause is a problem for Jiangsu, they paid 55 for Teixeira without looking at money.
Not a problem for Jiangsu, not financial policies restricting them from paying whatever their hearts desire for a player. Inter, unfortunately are restricted by financial policy.
Just loan us Teixeira and Ramirez!
no. dont shop in Portugal.
played 33 scored 6 assists 11
but mind you Portugal first league is like Seria B/Pro A…..
only 2-4 good teams the rest are pure trash
Please chase realistic targets and sign them fast.
