Inter Confirm Mancini Signing
-
Inter sporting director Lele Oriali has told Sky Italia that Roma winger Mancini is definitely to sign for the nerazzurri. The highly-rated Brazilian arrives at San Siro for €13m, penning a 4-year deal worth €3.5m per season.
Mancini's future at Stadio Olimpico has been the subject of intense speculation since the appointment of José Mourinho as coach of the Nerazzurri earlier this summer.
The Special One had been on a quest for a world-class winger for his scheme and the Brazilian midfielder had always topped his shortlist, followed by FC Porto's Ricardo Quaresma.
With news sources in Europe claiming earlier today that Mourinho had decided to not follow his interest in Quaresma, speculation arose that Inter were very on Mancini's deal.
The 27-year-old winger has allegedly signed a four-year deal with Inter Milan after the two clubs concurred on a €13 million fee and will be rewarded with an annual salary of €3,5 million.
Mancini will become Mourinho's first summer signing, with several reports suggesting the Portuguese tactician to be interested in a reunion with Frank Lampard, who he guided during his time at Stamford Bridge.
