Inter Overtake Juve And Fiorentina In Sissoko Race


The race for Liverpool's Mohamed Sissoko is heating up, as over the last hours, Inter have surprisingly overtaken both Juventus and Fiorentina in the contest.

The Nerazzurri could be closing in on an important transfer according to 'tuttomercatoweb.com', as Sissoko has become the number one objective of coach Roberto Mancini.

Inter have thus stormed ahead in the negotiations that favoured Juventus ahead of Fiorentina until a few days ago: thus, the latest developments could see the French midfielder joining the Italian champions instead of either of these teams.

With Patrick Vieira almost certainly leaving the club at the end of this season, Mancini has requested Sissoko to president Massimo Moratti, as he believes that he would be the perfect replacement for the veteran midfielder.

Inter's sudden acceleration has surprised both Juventus and Fiorentina, who will now need to hurry things up if they do not want to lose the 22-year-old player.
