Inter Tie Up Di Maria Deal?Inter have already lined up Luis Figo’s replacement for next season and Benfica star Angel Di Maria is likely to take his place, as the Nerazzurri have already agreed a deal with the Portuguese club according to Sportmediaset.
The Argentine winger, who fired his side to Olympic gold in China last month, is admired by Jose Mourinho.
Di Maria has always dreamed of playing for a major club and it seems as if his ambitions will materialise.
Sportmediaset claims that Inter have already agreed a deal with Benfica sporting director Rui Costa which will see the talented player swap the Estadio Da Luz for San Siro next summer.
It is believed Inter will allow David Suazo to remain in Portugal and give Benfica an extra €2m to secure Di Maria’s services.
Jorge Mendes, who is Mourinho’s and the winger’s agent is likely to push the player towards Milan even though Real Madrid and Chelsea are also interested.
Figo is likely to hang up his boots at the end of this season and the deal which will see his replacement arrive is all but signed. The ‘Special One’ is keen to use fast and skilful players in his favoured 4-3-3 formation and the Argentine international has those qualities in abundance.
