When Wesley Sneijder claimed at the weekend that “Inter need money and I'm for sale if the right offer comes in,” he immediately raised the eyebrows of Nerazzurri followers, and grabbed the attention of courters to Samuel Eto’o, too. Anzhi Makhachkala are now on course to snap up the Cameroonian striker for around €35 million in a deal which could decimate the Italian side as a European force, especially if Sneijder’s protracted move to Manchester United also goes through.
It is expected that some of the €75m that would be earned in the two major sales could be spent on Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez, but that would seemingly create two problems. One is that there would be no replacement for Sneijder, the playmaker who inspired the club to the Champions League in 2010 after his €16m move from Real Madrid the previous summer. The other is that Inter may not be able to afford Tevez’s probable €35m fee and hefty salary due to the restrictions put in place by FFP.
When the club failed to significantly strengthen their squad of European champions last summer, many saw it as a sign of either faith or complacency on the part of president Massimo Moratti, but his attempt to sell Diego Milito and Douglas Maicon to Real Madrid for a combined €50m was evidence that he was looking to make the most of his players’ new-found status as continental kings in order to recoup some of the vast fortunes he has pumped into the club since taking the reins from Ernesto Pellegrini in 1995.
