Reports in Italy claim that Valencia have offered 15million euros
for Internazionale striker Adriano, but the approach has been
turned down by the Serie A champions.
The Spanish side's offer is believed to fall well short of
Adriano's valuation, with suggestions that Internazionale have
slapped a 25million euro fee on the Brazilian as they look to deter
potential suitors.
The offer is likely to spark an increased amount of bidding
activity around Adriano, but his club have previously stated their
intention to keep him, despite his personal and injury problems
last season.
Adriano is contracted to Inter until 2010, and it remains to be
seen as to whether Inter will cash in.
Valencia would face a difficult job in persuading Adriano to move
away from the San Siro, after he previously stated he would only be
interested in joining a fellow Serie A team.
