Former Argentina star Diego Maradona believes that Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is keen to take charge of Inter if he ever decides to leave his current club.
The Barca boss has an expiring contract at Camp Nou, and he has yet to make a decision on his future.
Guardiola has been linked with the Nerazzurri more than once in the past, and Maradona would not be surprised if he eventually ended up at the Giuseppe Meazza.
"I think that if he [Guardiola] ever leaves Barcelona, he wants to take over at Inter," Maradona said in an interview with El Economista.
"He will probably receive offers from all over the world. He is an excellent coach and is fortunate to work with the best players in the world at Barca."
Guardiola was named Barcelona coach in the summer of 2008 and has since won three La Liga titles, and two Champions League among many other trophies.
