Moratti: Mourinho want Quaresma

Inter president Massimo Moratti has confirmed reports that manager Jose Mourinho want to sign Porto ace Ricardo Quaresma.

“He did ask directors Marco Branca and Lele Oriali for him, yes,” President Massimo Moratti told Corriere dello Sport.

“The lad would certainly be useful for our style of play, but Mourinho knows full well that we cannot sign Quaresma until we sell someone else.”

Corriere dello Sport claims that Inter have set up a meeting with the Portuguese club for the coming days, in order to discuss a deal for Quaresma.

“Besides, we have never put too much pressure on Porto and there is a problem of price that has to be considered, too,” added Moratti.

“Mourinho knows that right now the priority is to reduce the size of the squad so he can work on the field the way he wants to.”

Porto want around £25million for Quaresma.
