INTER, CHANGES IN MIDFIELD

They have gotten the Colombian and (almost) the Genoa player.

Porto midfielder is already in Milan: "What happiness."

Today medical visit and signing contract.  New temptation for Palacio but no.

Milan - These are the last few hours of the transfer market.  And Inter's final moments have sanctified them always.  From Sneijder to Zarate, from Nagatomo to Pazzini.  So here, Massimo Moratti has once again reappeared.  And all of a sudden - surrounding by skepticism which now vanished - Inter did an Inter with two surprise signings: Fredy Guarin and Juraj Kucka.

A surprise So does it end here? We believe so for Inter unless in Paris still exist the crazy thoughts of Motta and even Milito and Zarate is not leaving now that Coutinho is now on loan at Espanyol.  But then again, you really don't know so watch out for last minute deals because Inter have always made remarkable and surprise signings at these hours of transfer market.

Thanks to Cordoba Fredy Guarin, Colombian and 25 years old, has arrived from Porto and landed at Malpensa at 8:00 pm last night.  "Delighted to be here but I still do not know if I can play right away: first I I need to put things in place then we will understand.  Cordoba? I have always heard from him.  We are friends regardless of the fact now that we are both at Inter.  Juve? I don't want to talk about it."  Fredy - received many phone calls from Cordoba and landed at Inter after a blitz Sunday night - is coming on loan at 1 million euros with right to purchase set at 11 million in June.  Today, he will have a medical exam, sign the contract and then he will consider 14, 15 or 16 for his shirt number.  Fredy is virtually impossible to play against Palermo due to the time to complete all the formalities necessary for being a non-EU player.  Oh and the other non-EU spot was taken by Juan Jesus whose contract was submitted yesterday.  Fredy Guarin - who had dinner last night with his agent at Melia hotel - is also unlikely to take the trip to Roma on Saturday evening.  So at the moment, the most likely scenario is against Novara or Bologna.

Kucka ready Not only Fredy Guarin, the direction towards Kucka continued yesterday: after several meetings that didn't really stabilize anything, the one last night was decisive and there should be another one today that could push the Slovakian midfielder to Inter by 19:00 CET today on loan. Preziosi had initially asked for 500 thousand euros for the loan like the deal for Merkel.  But Inter insist that such figure is for a player in a co-ownership.  And tonight - unless sudden changes of direction - Kucka will be an Inter player and he is ready to take the field as soon as possible.

Luc, Candreva, Zarate Meanwhile there are many side movements.  Some whispers suggested of an exchange of loans between Castaignos and Candreva which was already done and established.  But? But the Dutch youngster - decided to establish himself at Inter - refused the transfer and his opposition has effectively canceled the whole operation.  For Castaignos, possibility of him leaving for a foreign team still stands.  In fact, it is between him and Zarate because for the Argentinian rumors of Genoa and Tottenham have gradually disappeared but many voices suggest that in these last hours something will happen.

Palacio and Cou Lastly, there was a rumor of an attack on Rodrigo Palacio, the player that Inter were chasing last summer but Preziosi said no.  Meanwhile Cou is gone to Espanyol: "but I will only be here for five months in view of the Olympics.  Then I will return..."
