Inter look at Ederson
Thursday 18 June, 2009

Jose Mourinho’s new Internazionale is taking shape and could include Lyon’s talented midfielder Ederson.

The Brazilian has been associated with the Italian champions and has admitted that he wouldn’t have any problems in moving to San Siro if terms were agreed.

“I’m happy that Inter are interested in me,” he said. “They are a very good team and, without doubt, one of the strongest in the world. Who doesn’t dream of playing for a great club like this one?

“Inter were the first European club to show an interest in me when I was only 19, before I moved on to Nice.

“But today I am a Lyon player, a well respected club that allow me to play my own style of football,” he continued.

“I’m happy in France and want to repay the fans and the club for all the support they have given me.

“I want to help the team win the domestic title again and go as far as possible in the Champions League.”

The 23-year-old is also understood to be wanted by Marseille, Bayern Munich and German champions Wolfsburg. He’s likely to cost £18m.

Should Ederson arrive at Inter he would link up with Brazilian compatriot Thiago Motta after he left Genoa along with Diego Milito this month.

Meanwhile, Inter are apparently getting closer to reaching an agreement with Chelsea for Ricardo Carvalho and Deco.
