The Brazilian player is in pole position, but Moratti has other alternatives ready.
Diego, Lionel Messi, Pato Alexandre, Antonio Cassano, Frank Ribery and Juan Roman Riquelme: these are among the players being followed by Inter for next season. While the Brazilian player of Werder Bremen seems to be in pole position, no road is being kept out by the Inter management who are monitoring a number of big name players.
MESSI - The Argentinean is the one player Moratti would be willing to spend a fortune for. The Barcelona phenomenon has a 150 million euro buyout clause on his contract and if the player would be willing to leave Barça for a new challenge, he might be bought for around half that amount. And Moratti has already sent some clear messages to the player's entourage...
PATO - He impressed at the Club World Championship in Tokio at just over seventeen. He is quite talented and can play as a second striker as well as a playmaker. The Brazilian staff value the player at around 20 million euros, but only half of this amount will end up in their registers because the player is half-"owned" by his father.
ALTERNATIVES - Then there is the option of Juan Roman Riquelme. The Argentine, unhappy under Pellegrini, is on loan at Boca Juniors, but at season's end he should return to Spain because Boca lack the money to buy him. In the past Inter had already asked for informations. Another option is Frank Ribery, star of Olympique Marseille who is also being tracked by Lyon and Real Madrid. Then there is Antonio Cassano who has a very good chance to arrive in Milan, perhaps as a reinforcement for the attack.
