Exclusive: Inter set for contract talks with Man United target, former Cardiff star

07 February 2017

Italian media

Inter are set to offer new deals to two key defenders, Calciomercato understand.

Transfer expert and raconteur Fabrizio Romano claims that Inter are set to talk to Chilean international Gary Medel next week, formerly of Cardiff City.

A less-immediate priority but a key one nevertheless is the extension of Joao Miranda’s deal, who was chased by Manchester United this summer.

The Brazilian international’s current contract expires next summer. An eventual Inter offer will be lower, simply because he’s set to turn 33 years old this September.

Medel and Miranda are pillars of this back line, the former Atletico Madrid man performing admirably last season, and recovering from a slow start this time around.

Gary Medel, on the other hand, is appreciated both by Coach Pioli and the board, who want to offer him a contract that will keep him at the San Siro until 2020.

His recent return from injury saw him put in a convincing shift in the Derby d’Italia loss to Juventus this weekend.

Class just oozed out of the guy. I loved watching him play.
Of course, there were many on here who didn't rate him because he didn't spray the ball about like Hoddle or someone!

Loved having Medel at City. magical watching him play for Chile.
He always seemed good when he bumped into fans in Viva Brazil.
You really wonder what he though during his time at City.
He always seemed to give everything and the times he looked bad were usually when he was exposed by those around him.
He often had to sacrifice his skills for the team.
The only disappoint was that he didn't do his nut in a game and get sent off.

Superb player. Stood out like a rose between thorns in our journeyman Premier midfield though, Mutch excepted.

Thought he was mediocre until he got injured and our defence/midfield became exposed.

No he could not spray the ball around like Hoddle but when we were without him other teams had a free reign around our midfield. The amount of goal we let other teams walk in through our midfield was many and embarrassing.

His performance against Fulham at Craven Cottage was one of the best I've seen from a City player. Craig Noone's performance against Man City might have to top the list though!

How he wasn't picked up by another Premier league team is beyond me as he was well suited to the Premiership.

I loved watching Medal although he did seem to give up towards the end of the season although that maybe the Ole effect!

PS talking about our other defenders wasn't Caulker in court this week for throwing stuff at passengers on a train! He was another favourite of mine and always a good bet as a first goalscorer with high odds :)

Great player I liked how we kept his temperament down as he did fly off the handle a bit at Sevilla the game against Man City always sticks out he is a player that can definitely fit in a top six team in the Prem. :ayatollah:

He never looked in great condition, and the bite that he was supposed to have ... where was it?

Not suited to the high-tempo British game.
