I think this Quaresma-Inter transfer talk is, a rumor. I wanted Quaresma to leave FC Porto and join Inter. It doesn't look like he will, at least this season.
- FC Porto weren't flexible and rejected Inter's offer on June 27th.
- Inter signed another winger already, from AS Roma, Mancini.
- Quaresma returned to FC Porto's pre-season training in Mainfield Germany. Some Porto fans that went to see the team arrive said "Fica Quaresma" (Stay Quaresma).
We'll have to wait another season for a Quaresma move. Why doesn't FC Porto accept another club's offer or lower their price? I think someone needs to tell FC Porto that Inter is not Chelsea. There's no Abramovich with "big bucks" to pay what it takes to get a player the manager wants.
Quaresma already said he would like to move to a club abroad. The last time he said it was on May 31st.
When I wrote this in the Italiansoccerseriea .com blog a FC Porto fan replied to my comment saying "it didn't mean anything if he's back in trainig with the club. He's going to leave FC Porto" and much more. I agree. But it's clear that Inter is not willing to pay more the 30 million euros for Quaresma. FC Porto are asking 40 million euros. AC Milan, Chelsea or Real Madrid might be willing to. Inter I don't think so.

By the way did you see the new yellow soccer ball in the pictures? What do you think? I prefer the classic black and white colors.
- Did you think Quaresma would go to Inter this season?
