Italian giants Inter Milan have confirmed that they are looking to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186’s Fredy Guarin after one of their directors spoke to reporters about a potential switch to San Siro for the midfielder.
Guarin, 25, is reported to be on the verge of signing for a new club this winter after falling out of favour at Estadio do Dragao. The Colombian International was amongst the first-choice players for Andre Villas-Boas, during his time at the helm, however with his departure, Guarin has been unable to crack the first team.
Vitor Pereira has seemingly favoured Joao Moutinho alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Envigado-c39013 man's appearances. Rarely making the team sheet, Guarin has been fed up with his situation and is thought to be keen on seeking greener pastures elsewhere.
According to the player himself, he is close to joining Juventus, as the Bianconeri look to bolster their ranks, mid-way through the campaign.
Everything is reportedly is set but Porto coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira, still claims that he knows nothing about a move and that it was natural that his players had been linked with transfers, as they were amongst the best in the game.
It is understood that Juve are the front-runners in the race to acquire the midfielder, but their rivals Inter Milan are also seeking new recruits and have been monitoring the progress of the talented attacker.
The Nerazzurri have had to battle with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 International could finally make the switch to Old Trafford this winter.
Inter want to maintain their momentum in Serie A and know that a quality addition in the centre of the park will be a must, if the former Real Madrid man departs. Guarin is alleged to be their preferred choice and according to director, Marco Branca, they could lure him to the club.
Speaking to reporters, the official said that his side were quite interested in the player and considering that he fitted the requirements, a switch to Italy could materialize before the transfer window closed.
"Guarín is a very interesting player and we need a midfielder. A move is certainly a possibility.”
However he added that Inter had not contacted their Portuguese counterparts but revealed that there had been talks with the player this week and he would try to convince Massimo Moratti to sign Guarin.
"We made no proposal. But I'll talk to the president Moratti and then make a decision. Yes there was a meeting this week but I was not there because I'm out of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926,” Marco Branca was quoted as saying.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 and Juventus keen on landing his services, a move to Serie A looks to be on the cards for Fredy Guarin this winter.
