Diego Ribas da Cunha as a replacement for the departing Luis Figo.
The Nerazzurri are searching for young blood as the Portuguese winger will leave the club in June and the 22-year-old Brazilian is seen as an ideal alternative.
The South American is considered as one of the most promising talents around and was already paired with Inter in 2004, when Diego instead joined Porto.
The midfielder grew up at Santos and played alongside Robinho in their 2002 championship winning side.
He moved to Portugal in a £5m deal, where he won a Super Cup, the Intercontinental Cup in 2004 and League title in 2006.
Werder Bremen swooped last year and the youngster has immediately adapted to the tactics of boss Thomas Schaaf.
Diego made an impressive start in Bremen, where he has bagged eight goals and 10 assists, as well as three Player of the Month awards. He’s also been rewarded with Brazil caps.
The player, who is contracted until 2010, would arrive with the added bonus of an Italian passport, but has been valued at somewhere around £14m and Werder don’t want to sell.
Diego, also a reported target for Liverpool, would reportedly favour a move to Italy and Inter chief Massimo Moratti is considering making an offer in June. |
