Inter Per Sempre

Inter lock down Mario

• Moratti doesn't want to risk of losing him.  And thinking about Pastore for 2011.

• For Balotelli, an extension is ready until 2015 with a doubled salary: will earn 2.5 million, plus bonus.

• "Balotelli is like Corso.  He will never leave Inter."

• Moratti replies to Borriello, that the newspaper reported that he wants Super Mario at Milan.  "Even Pele wanted the imagination..."  And for Balotelli, here comes a new contract.

Milan - Massimo Moratti has given orders to his closet collaborators to lock down Mario Balotelli.  A clear statement of position, which in fact also closes any internal debate and the offer for the striker is economically and technically important.  Between the lack of understanding with Mou, problems with the referees, and behavioral issues in general, these are the days - not too distant from one another - the club is considering to offer millions to the prodigy who is near the national team.  "From now on - joked the president - I only talk about 100 million or more for him."

To 2015 Balotelli to Moratti is like the past players Ronaldo and Recoba, players that were technically adored, loved, especially Chino.  Mario, linked to Inter until June 2013, will be offered an extension until 2015, with major economic adjustment with the contract signed back in August 2008.  He is making 1.2 million per season (rising with bonuses like appearances and goals), and Inter are now ready to offer 2.5 million plus bonuses.

Justify recognition In short, Balotelli's will be doubled.  The inevitable recognition for one who scored with a disarming continuity from the first minutes in football is important, and the player with a key role in the strongest team in Italy.  An extraordinary progression: his debut season he scored 7 goals (2007-2008), ten last year, already at 9 this season, despite spending time on the bench 16 times in 30 appearances, and the misery of playing 6 matches in completion.  Massimo Moratti was the one that keep an eye on him during his Primevera days.  He didn't lose any opportunities to say nice things to the baby of the Nerazzurri and after each and every game, he repeated the same sentence: "This is a phenomenon, I want to see him once in the first team."  That's why Moratti has special connection to him as one of his own.  Inter are making movement at the right time, maybe even a little bit in advance, the latest sign of showing respect to the player.  Anyway, better getting there before the potential call-up for South Africa, thus removing the danger of the Article 17, the road that Mario could theoretically go in the summer of 2011.

Fabregas and Pastore When Balotelli is locked down, then no further action will be necessary at the striker position.  And instead, technical director, Marco Branca will focus mainly on the transfer market for midfielders.  Fabregas is the number one objective, and to get the Spanish, Inter could have to make a fierce sacrifice (Maicon?).  Then, eyes will be on Kolarov,  Finally, Massimo and Angelomario Moratti will prepare for Marco Branca a major economic plan to bring to Milan Javier Pastore in 2011.  Massimo Moratti likes the young Argentine trequartista and he intends to act with the utmost respect for Zamparini, who recently has announced that the boy is staying for at least another season.
