Inter are finding it difficult to persuade Genoa President Enrico Preziosi to part company with Argentine striking sensation Diego Milito and have, reportedly, set up a backup plan.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports this morning that the Via Durini directors are mulling over the possibility of approaching Sampdoria with a mega offer to bring Antonio Cassano to the Stadio San Siro.
'The Talento di Bari Vecchia' would command a fee of at least €18 million, but the Beneamata could sweeten the pot by throwing in the deal teenage striker Mario Balotelli, who is deemed to be surplus to requirements by coach José Mourinho.
According to the newspaper, a meeting between the parties has already taken place at the Nerazzurri headquarters, and President Massimo Moratti is allegedly waiting to get the green light from the Portuguese tactician.
The reported move would severely disrupt Juventus’ plans, as the Old Lady has been heavily linked with 'Fantantonio' in the past and they were hoping to sign him as a free-agent in 2010, when his deal with the Blucerchiati will expire.
