Jose Mourinho’s spokesman confirmed the former Chelsea Coach met President Massimo Moratti this week. “Negotiations are advanced.”
The reports had come out of Portugal late last night that Mourinho had flown out to the peninsula, but today the official confirmation came through.
“It’s true, Mourinho and Mendes were in Milan,” spokesman Eladio Parames was quoted as saying.
“They left Lisbon yesterday and in the afternoon met the Inter President. Where? I cannot confirm that detail, but there was a meeting and I can assure you it was very positive.”
This is not the first time the former Porto and Chelsea boss has been linked with the Nerazzurri, but Roberto Mancini’s hastily retracted resignation and Champions League exit have made his situation untenable.
“This was the first time Moratti and Mourinho met face to face, but Jose and Mendes have had other meetings with Inter directors,” continued Parames.
“If the negotiations were not already at an advanced stage, then Mourinho would not have flown to Milan. You can be certain of that.
“How do I see it panning out? I don’t want to say anything, but my sensations are positive. If we see each other again in a few months I’ll have to try to improve on my Italian…”
