Inter Milan Agree Ferrari Deal

The Nerazzurri had announced earlier this week that they would not be purchasing any more players this summer.

However, Marco Materazzi then picked up a thigh strain during the Trofeo Tim on Tuesday night that will keep him out of action for up to a month, plunging Inter into a defensive injury crisis.

With Christian Chivu, Walter Samuel and Ivan Cordoba all sidelined too, the Beneamata are at risk of going into the new season with just one fit centre back, in the form of Nicolas Burdisso.

As a result the club’s hierarchy have decided to go back into the market and over the last couple of days they have been heavily linked with signing Ferrari as a stop-gap replacement.

Ferrari is currently a free agent having left Roma at the end of his contract earlier this month. Tuttomercatoweb claims that Inter have come to an agreement to sign the 29-year-old, who will pen a three year contract, worth close to €2m a season.

Both parties agreed upon the terms today, and the transfer should become official by the end of this week. It all goes well, Ferrari will become Inter’s third transfer of the summer after Amantino Mancini and Sulley Muntari.
