Inter not interested in City’s Tevez

With Samuel Eto’o on the verge of leaving the current World Club champions, Inter are on the hunt for another striker.

Tevez is desperate to leave Manchester City, but Inter are not prepared to open up their wallets for the player as President Massimo Moratti is taking the new UEFA Financial Fair Play rules very seriously.

Moratti is concentrating on Atletico Madrid’s Diego Forlan and Napoli hitman Ezequiel Lavezzi.

"Eto'o leaving? When and if it happens, I will miss him a lot. He is a very serious professional, a top player in the true sense of the word, who has managed to drag the team and especially in times of difficulty he has always been on the top level, being a great player," Moratti said.

"He goes for the financial fair play and because when you get an offer like that it's hard to refuse it. The financial fair play is serious, not a joke: whoever doesn't respect the parameters will be out of European competitions. Will Tevez be the replacement? I don't think we will get him.

"Forlan? Lavezzi? These are the names on which we are working: we are watching, exploring, we'll see. With (Napoli owner, Aurelio) De Laurentiis we spoke of Lavezzi, but it could just be a contact which finishes there.

"Giuseppe Rossi? We never thought of him, we're looking for a player with different characteristics."
