Ricky Alvarez's agent reveals Inter "do not have faith in him"

'Inter do not have faith in Alvarez' - Colasanto

Dec 23, 2012 4:15:00 PM

The Argentina midfielder's representative believes the club have no confidence in the 24-year-old after he was replaced 30 minutes into Saturday's game following a torrent of jeers

Ricky Alvarez’s days at Inter look numbered after his agent revealed that the Nerazzurri “do not have faith in him.”

Alvarez, 24, who moved to Italy from Velez Sarsfield in August 2011, was booed by the Inter supporters as he left the field 30 minutes into Saturday's 1-1 draw with Genoa at San Siro suffering yet another injury.

“I certainly did not expect these difficulties, because he arrived in Italy at the right time,” his agent Filippo Colasanto told Il Sussidiario.

“He wasn’t too young or too old and he certainly has quality. Perhaps the club does not have faith in him, but it must also be said Inter are a demanding side.”

The midfielder, who has four caps for Argentina, signed for Inter for €10 million after impressing in Sarsfield’s run to the semi-finals of the 2011 Copa Libertadores.

Inter beat off competition from Arsenal for the player’s signature and Alvarez has been linked with a move to River Plate and Marseille in recent weeks.

Florentino Perez is being unsurprisingly amicable with this whole thing, but there are stings and barbs for Jose Mourinho buried in some of his words, such as: "Achievements this season haven't been sufficient for demands of a club such as Real Madrid, or a coach like Mourinho."

More from Real Madrid club president Florentino Perez regarding Jose Mourinho's departure: "We've come to this decision just now although its something thats been back of our mind for some time. We have no pre-contract signed with any manager. This is something we have to look at over the coming days

"The time is right to go our seperate ways and once again I would like to thank Jose Mourinho for all his hard work."

Jose Mourinho will leave as Real Madrid coach!

Jerry Moses ‏(@adi_rijez) tweeted: "Real madrid need a manager not a team breaker."

True, Jose Mourinho has caused more friction than he has joy at Real Madrid in the last month, but he has guided the Blancos to three consecutive Champions League semi-finals and his side broke the record for points collected in a single Liga season last year!
