Inter may switch their Premiership eyes from Arsenal’s Thierry Henry to disgruntled Manchester United forward Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Although the Frenchman is undoubtedly at the top of their transfer wish-list, owner Massimo Moratti concedes that the Dutchman is a more likely arrival.
“Henry is a player I enjoy watching,” again admitted Moratti, who continues to be a great source for transfer writers.
“However, I understand the Frenchman is happy in London and Arsenal are preparing a contract extension for him.
“Therefore, they have first choice. It would be a different situation if the player wanted to have another experience elsewhere.
“The difference between Henry and Van Nistelrooy is I know Van Nistelrooy is not happy in Manchester."
Henry is pondering his future at Highbury, while the Old Trafford scoring sensation – who has also been linked with Milan – has recently got used to life on the bench given the form of Louis Saha.
The Nerazzurri are looking for a new striker in the summer in a bid to find an adequate partner for Adriano.
But despite what Moratti has said on Tuesday, there remains the possibility that he will decide to take Ronaldo back from Real Madrid in the summer.
The Brazilian, who left the San Siro for Spain after the 2002 World Cup, is looking for a move after falling out of favour at the Bernabeu. |
