The Beneamata are keen on the striker, who has been in stunnng
form in La Primera Division. So keen in fact, that they have
already made contact with the Spanish club in an attempt to thwart
the competition and reach their target before anyone else.
Il Corriere Dello Sport claims that Nerazzurri chief Massimo
Moratti has already sent his transfer wheelers and dealers to Spain
in order to get the ball rolling.
Manchester City are also interested, but the Italians are ready to
break the bank. A €60m cheque, plus the services of Adriano, will
be put on the plate to try and tempt Atleti to part-company with
their man.
It is believed the La Liga club will not take any offer less than
€50m seriously and, thus, the possible transfer could break the
record for being the world's most expensive.
Adriano has been blowing hot and cold this season and he has at
times got back to his dodgy old habits. This has not impressed
coach Jose Mourinho and the Brazilian could be used as bait for
Kun.
Inter have found it harder than usual to score this term, so the
Argentine's arrival would lighten the load on the other
hit-men.
