I thought the Javier Mascherano to Inter deal was all set. Mascherano wants to come to Inter and play for his former boss Rafa Benitez. But it appears that Liverpool are asking way too much money for the defensive midfielder and as a result Inter is starting to look elsewhere.
Inter president Massimo Moratti would love to add Mascherano but might instead opt for the cheaper version on Melo:
“Mascherano is strong, but it is unlikely that he will come,’ said Moratti. “He costs too much and it’s not even a given that Liverpool will sell him. Felipe Melo? It’s an intriguing idea which we are working on.”
It seems that Liverpool are expecting a £28million bid for Masherano and that is more than Inter want to pay for him.
Felipe Melo signed for Juventus a year ago in June 2009 from Fiorentina in a deal valued at around 25 million euros. There have been reports all summer that Melo was on his way to the Premier League to play for Arsenal, but maybe Inter can hijack that move.
I cannot see Juve letting Melo go for anything less than they paid for him last year.So much question is that if you had 28 million euros to pay for a defensive midfield player would you prefer Melo or Mascherano?
