Porto: No Inter offer for Quaresma
Tuesday 8 July, 2008

Porto President Jorge Pinto Da Costa is adamant that Inter haven’t made any concrete bid for talented forward Ricardo Quaresma.

Nerazzurri Coach Jose Mourinho has admitted his desire to sign his compatriot and Quaresma is reportedly keen on the move.

However, Inter have been focusing most of their attention on Chelsea star Frank Lampard and it seems that reports they have made a £20m bid for Quaresma are without substance.

“At the moment we have had no official offers for Quaresma,” Porto boss Da Costa told the Correio De Manha

“Has Ricardo asked to leave? No, I’ve had no complaints from him.”

There have also been rumours that Argentine striker Julio Cruz could be used as a bargaining chip in a part-exchange deal, but the player’s agent refutes the suggestion.

“Cruz is not leaving Inter,” Jorge Czysterpiller insisted in the Corriere dello Sport.

“He will stay with the Nerazzurri – that is 100 per cent certain and I hope it is clear.

“He intends to extend his contract, which is currently due to expire in 2009.”
