From one
Portuguese star to the next - albeit a man in less demand than his
compatriot - Ricardo Quaresma has now hit the headlines in Portugal
concerning a potential move to the Madrid giants.
Transfer news surrounding the player this summer mainly concerned a
potential move to the San Siro, with the winger tipped to join new
Coach Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan. In recent times, the move to
Serie A had seemed close to a certainty, but this has now seemingly
been turned on its head.
The Ronaldo saga has left the Madrid faithful expecting the arrival
of a superstar and, despite the acquisition of Rafael van der Vaart
from Hamburg, the midfield still does not excite the average
supporter. In light of this, Ramon Calderon and co. are reportedly
considering a move for the Porto man, hoping to beat Inter to his
signature.
If this transfer does come to pass and Inter lose out on the pacy
midfield maestro, the Nerazzurri will surely have no one to blame
but themselves. A deal for the player could have been concluded
weeks ago had Inter supremo Massimo Moratti been more forceful and
less recklessly patient.
