Champions League: Panathinaikos - Inter / Mancini (INTIME)

Inter’s Brazilian maestro Mancini joined the club less than six months ago, in the summer transfer period from Roma in Serie A. He was Jose Mourinho’s first acquisition in his tenure at the club, and he was expected to fit in nicely to his 4-3-3 system.

Despite this however, Mancini has had an extremely tough time this term, as he has struggled to rediscover the form that saw him up there with the best players in the competition only a few years ago.

As a result, it seems as if a move away from the club could be on the cards, with Real Madrid looking the most likely to swoop for the unsettled star.

Los Merengues have been busy searching for a winger over the past few weeks to add to the double winter signing of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Lassana Diarra from Ajax and Portsmouth respectively.

Mancini has been rumoured to be one of the players the 'White House' have been tracking and now, according to Tuttomercatoweb the Spanish club have made a bid for the winger for a reported sum of around €10 million.

The Nerazzurri purchased the 28-year-old from Roma for a fee of around €15 million, and it may prove to be a cost-efficient deal for Madrid. But the Brazilian would not be eligible to play in the Champions League and with the blancos keen on purchasing a player who can help them in both their domestic and continental charge, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to these latest reports.
