Utd prepare £42m Adriano bid
Manchester United will reportedly make Inter an impressive offer for star striker Adriano at some stage this week.
The Premiership club need to replace Ruud Van Nistelrooy after his departure to Real Madrid and have set their sights on the Brazilian international, but the proposed swoop is set to be problematic.
United officials are expected in Milan in order to understand whether an agreement can be reached with the Via Durini outfit, who earlier this summer insisted that the Emperor is untransferable.
Whispers suggest that the Old Trafford outfit are supposedly ready to offer a massive £42m for the 24-year-old, a bid that may tempt owner Massimo Moratti to consider his options.
Nevertheless, the chances of a sale look slim now that prime target Luca Toni has snubbed a move to Milan in favour of staying in Florence.
The Nerazzurri also strengthened their attack by signing Hernan Crespo on Monday and still hope to net Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Juventus even if rivals Milan are also keen.
With Obafemi Martins set to move on, with Liverpool and Newcastle interested, further departures from Inter seem highly improbable.
Especially as Coach Roberto Mancini has reiterated that he needs at least five forwards at his disposal for this season.
Adriano has spent the last two seasons at Inter following his switch from Parma back in January 2004.
Although he has scored 38 goals for the San Siro giants, the international has struggled for fitness and form over the last 12 months.

Somehow, i really don't think so.
Not for 42 million anyway.
