Diego Simeone Advises Inter To Sign Javier Mascherano

Former Inter star Diego Simeone travelled to Milan this week to take a closer look at Jose Mourinho’s coaching methods. He believes that, if the Milan club were to bolster their midfield, they should look no further than Liverpool man Javier Mascherano.

“I think Inter should keep hold of the midfielders they already have in the squad because they are excellent,” Simeone said to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“But if they really have to get one, I would pour all my efforts into capturing Mascherano. He can do everything and he is world-class.

“Moreover, I want to advise all the Serie A clubs not to miss out on [Carlos] Tevez. He is a complete striker, has a great personality and is a true professional.”

Inter are in the driving seat to retain the Serie A title this term but have once again flopped in Europe, crashing out of the competition at the hands of Manchester United.

“I adore this club because it was the most important in my footballing career,” enthused the ex-River Plate boss.

“They have won the Scudetto for three years on the trot and are firmly top of the table this season.

“As for the Champions League, they were not knocked out by a small team. It is very tough to overcome English sides at the moment because they have improved a great deal thanks to foreign players and coaches.”
