Inter Milan of Italy have joined the race to sign Arsenal’s full-back Sagna according to a report by La gazzetta delloSport. The Nerauzzurri’s new owner Erick Thoir has recently made funds available for the summer transfer window.
According to Erik Thoir, Mancheseter United’s captain Nemanja Vidic is almost done with a deal that would seen him join the Italian side this summer. He is hoping another start player from the Premiership would also join them this summer.
Sagna, 31, has been a very valuable player in Arsenal’s lineup for several years making total of 200 appearances. Sagna’s contract with his club would be ending this summer. He is demanding a 3-year contract extension. Arsenal is offering a two-year deal instead.
A couple of other European clubs are also interested in signing the French man. Should Inter Milan fail to sign him, they may be considering Andreas Beck of Hoffenheim or Roberto Rosales of Twente.
Daily Mail also reports that Inter Milan are interested in yet another Manchester United’s player – Patrice Evra. Evra would be out of contract with United at the end of this season and till now, there are no known offer of contract extension. Should they consider giving the player an extension, it would just be a one-year extension in accordance with United’s policy of giving one-year extensions to players above 30.
Inter are looking to offer the French man the same type of juicy, longer-term contract that swayed his fellow team mate Nemanja Vidic to San Siro. Sagna and Evra are top of Inter Coach Walter Mazzari’s shopping list.
With United showing keen interest in Southampton teenage left-back Luke Shaw, it is an indication that they are willing to let Evra go. After the 2 – 0 loss to Olympiakos of Greece, Evra said.
‘My love will not change for the club. I love Manchester. When my love will be broken with Manchester, I will study the possibilities”.
