The news of Inter Milan chasing Pacini has been widely reported by Italian media in the past two days. Both Moratti and Branca from the upper management of Inter Milan have denied their interest in the Sampdoria forward. The Italian international is indeed one of the key targets for Inter Milan before the closing of the winter transfer window, but negotiations between the two clubs are still tense. Matri, a former AC Milan player, is also one of their backup options.
According to the "Inter News Network", Inter Milan has made an official offer to Sampdoria, and the senior executives of both clubs have already met to discuss it. Inter Milan's initial offer was 6 million euros plus Biabiany. Since they just acquired Maccherone, Sampdoria hopes to receive at least 12 million euros plus the young French player. Di Carlo's team also wants to include Santon in the negotiation, but the young Inter Milan player does not want to leave Inter Milan, and the club also has no intention of selling him.
If they cannot acquire Pacini, Inter Milan will turn to another local player, Matri. Compared with Pacini, the advantage of the former AC Milan player is that he can play in the Champions League, but Inter Milan has not yet formally contacted Cagliari. The "Rome Sports Daily" also mentioned three veteran Serie A players: Di Vaio, Colladi, and Caracciolo, but these older players are basically just backup options, and the possibility of them joining Inter Milan as emergency reinforcements is low.
In terms of midfielders, the news of Halja joining has been confirmed. The "Inter News Network" claims that the Genoa player will wear the blue-black jersey within the next day or two. Inter Milan will acquire the Moroccan international through a loan-to-buyout deal, with the buyout price set at 4 million euros at the end of the season. Halja will replace Montari, who is about to leave, and Montari's move to the Premier League is almost certain.
The "Inter News Network" reports that Pacini is very interested in the offer from Inter Milan, but he needs to convince Sampdoria to let him go. And Biabiany is also willing to join Sampdoria, after all, the Frenchman can get more opportunities here. The key now lies in the valuation of Pacini, and both sides should be able to reach an agreement on the basis of each making some concessions. According to "Slow Lens", the valuation of Pacini is around 16 million euros, since Santon does not want to go to Sampdoria, the plan of Inter Milan offering cash plus Biabiany has been proven.
