Inter president Massimo Moratti has admitted it is unlikely that the Champions League holders will sign Javier Mascherano from English titans Liverpool this summer.
The Nerazzurri are continually being linked with a move for the holding midfielder, but Moratti has stated that Inter lack the financial resources to meet Liverpool's hefty demands.
"At this moment, we're unable to make any transfers of this magnitude," said Moratti in reference to Liverpool's asking price in an interview with Corriere dello Sport. "We can't make any big transfers until we've sold someone."
Brazilian defender Maicon was continually being linked with a move to Real Madrid in the past couple of months, but Moratti confirmed earlier on Monday that the full-back is going nowhere.
However, striker Mario Balotelli appears to be on his way out of the club and could be sold to Manchester City later this week.
It's not yet certain though whether Inter will reignite their interest in Mascherano once they have cashed in on Balotelli.
