Inter will talk to Cardiff City again today regarding their Chilean midfielder Gary Medel. The player has already made his mind up after agreeing a contract with the Nerazzurri for around €1.8 million P/A.
There is still optimism that a deal can be done despite the Bluebirds unwillingness to loan the player out. One alternative is Clement Grenier of Lyon but the characteristics are very different.

Medel is known as the ‘pitbull’ meanwhile Grenier is a far more technical player. Today could be decisive for Inter’s pursuit of the ex Sevilla destroyer.

Cardiff midfielder Gary Medel has almost completed his move to Inter Milan, according to reports in Italy.

The Chile star, who played at centre-back for his national side in the World Cup, impressed last season in the Premier League as a holding midfielder.

The 26-year-old only joined the Welsh club at the start of last season but relegation to the Championship has made a move to the San Siro very appealing.

Tuttosport claims Inter and Cardiff will speak on the phone today to complete the deal as Medel has already agreed to a five-year deal earning around £1.75m a season in wages which is set to rise.

Inter were interested in taking the former Sevilla man on an initial loan to check on his suitability to Italian football, but it appears Vincent Tan has dug his heels in to demand a permanent deal.

The Serie A giants opened the bidding at £7m but the Championship club are eager to get close to the £11m they paid, especially on the back of his performances in Brazil which included a virtuoso performance in the 2-0 win over Spain.

Glad when it's all over, Annis

Didn't particularly want him to go, but (like certain others) wish they would clear off sooner rather than later, IF that is what they want to do!

Appreciate his/their efforts, but we only need players who are totally committed to the fight for next a slog in the Championship next season

Agree that he was, which is why I just want it done and Cardiff City FC can move on

Think about this though, for all the slagging off of VT from many on this board, how good does it feel that we have a club, that is not under pressure any more to sell players at any old price, just to keep our heads above water?? It's fantastic that we are in a position to call the shots. Thank you Vincent Tan

So many relegated sides from the Premier League have fire sales - I would say that we'll be a better/stronger side in the Championship than we did in the Prem'.

Agree we have a better aquad then when we went up last time, Medel will probably be our best signing for a while.
