Inter confirm Isla interest

Inter director Marco Branca has revealed his club are interested in Udinese midfielder Mauricio Isla.

The Chile international has been strongly linked with a move to Inter and has made no secret that he plans to leave Udinese at the end of the season.

“Mauricio Isla is a very interesting player, who has been playing at a very high level in Serie A for many seasons,” Branca told La Tercera.

“He is one of a number of options for next season, but we have not reached any sort of agreement with Udinese for the transfer.”

Inter will, however, face stiff competition for Isla’s signing after the player’s agent revealed in January that Juventus, Roma and Liverpool are also tracking his client.

Isla, who joined Udinese from Universidad Catolica in 2007, is currently sidelined with a knee injury and will miss the rest of the season.
