Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has set aside €50m
to sign Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, according to reports in
Italy.
The Itasportpress website claims the Italian giants are
desperate for new impetus to save their season and Moratti sees
Fabregas as the ideal marquee signing to steady the ship and
placate the fans who are growing uneasy after a poor start to the
season.
Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez took over from Jose Mourinho
in the summer but the Spaniard is already under pressure following
a string of defeats.
But Moratti is confident that even if he has to replace Benitez
any future appointment will be happy to work with Fabregas.
The 23-year-old Spain star was at the centre of the summer's
longest transfer saga when Barcelona were desperate to bring their
former youth player back to the Nou Camp, but Arsenal refused to
sell and Barca were unable to up their £30m offer.
Inter chief Moratti is hoping €50m will tempt Arsenal to do
business.
