Talk in the Italian press has intensified in recent days that Diego is set to move to the Nerazzurri this summer.
Inter have identified a creative centre midfielder as one of their main transfer targets, and believe that the Brazilian can help them make a big impact in the Champions League.
Controcampo says that Diego’s father and agent has been sneakily declaring in the press that Real Madrid and Juventus are interested in signing his son, so that Inter would have free reign to negotiate a transfer for themselves.
Massimo Moratti, who is also expected to drop out of the race to sign Ronaldinho, is prepared to meet Werder Bremen’s asking price of €30m.
Diego has had a wonderful season in the German Bundesliga, and is his side’s top-scorer with 13 goals.
The 23-year-old is also a regular in the Brazil national team, and has won 34 caps, scoring six goals.

When referee Khut Kircher gets the DFB Cup final underway on Saturday afternoon, Torsten Frings will be a little disappointed that he’s not there on the pitch in Berlin himself with Werder Bremen. Borussia Dortmund, who put an end to the Green-Whites campaign in the round of the last sixteen, will be there this weekend though, to do battle with FC Bayern Munich.
Torsten Frings will follow the game with a great deal of interest. The German international will watch on as two of his former clubs lock horns. “I can’t see Bayern allow the title to get away from them because they do have the better team. I would also like to see Dortmund taking the trophy though because I enjoyed my time there a little more than in Munich”, explained Frings who will try to remain objective but watch with mixed feelings on Saturday.
Despite leaning slightly towards BVB, who scored more sympathy points with the midfielder, Frings would also like to see his friend Oliver Kahn enjoy the moment of triumph in his last DFB Cup final as an active player: “He helped me a lot with settling in during my time in Munich. He’s a really nice guy and you can have a lot of fun with him. I will miss him when he retires, as will the whole of the Bundesliga”, concluded Frings.
