Milan derby for Samuel swoop
channel4.com - Friday 31 December, 2004
The two San Siro giants are said to be clashing on the transfer market in a bid to bring Walter Samuel back to Serie A in a £17.6m deal.
It has been just six months since the defender left Roma for Real Madrid, but he has struggled to settle at the troubled Bernabeu club.
The arrival of new director of football Arrigo Sacchi has sparked massive changes, starting with the signing of Brazilian Coach Wanderley Luxemburgo, and there are set to be more developments during the January transfer window.
Inter were already in the running for Samuel’s signature when he opted for Madrid, so with their own defensive worries and the lack of viable replacements for Fabio Cannavaro, they are leading the race to bring him back to Italy.
On the other hand, Milan would bring in the Argentine to strengthen an already impressive – but extremely veteran – back-line that currently includes Paolo Maldini, Marcos Cafu, Giuseppe Pancaro, Jaap Stam and Billy Costacurta.
The Rossoneri might find it difficult to raise the ready cash, but would have a direct link to the Madrid hierarchy through their former Coach Sacchi. Other options for Samuel would be Juventus and Chelsea.
Sacchi 跳槽引发的连锁谣言还真多，这不又据说 Inter 和 Milan 有意 Samuel，丫丫的价钱是£17.6m。记者为两家俱乐部所编排的理由是：Inter 缺少 Cannavaro 的替代者，Milan 的高龄后防线需要年轻化。
