Inter winger Luis Figo believes that Porto winger Riccardo Quaresma would be the perfect replacement for him at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
The Portuguese maestro is expected to leave the club at the end of the season and is helping the Nerazzurri find his successor.
The former World Player of the Year went back on an agreement to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad last year, but he has received offers from teams in America's MLS.
Directors at the Via Durini club asked for the 35-year-old's opinion on three offensive midfielders capable of filling his role.
Marseille talisman Samir Nasri, Porto's Quaresma and Schalke's young Croat Ivan Rakitic were all put before Figo, whose patriotism took over.
“Quaresma, clearly!” announced the ex-Real Madrid star. “He is Portuguese like me.”
When asked who would win the European Championships in Austria and Switzerland, the two-time Scudetto winner ignored the Azzurri and emphatically replied: “Portugal, obviously!”
