Hajduk Split midfielder Tino-Sven Susic says that he ‘desires nothing else’ than Inter and that he would like to join the Nerazzurri ‘as soon as possible’.
The Bosnian prospect was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport to be a summer target for Erick Thohir's club two days ago, but the player has opened up to the possibility of joining the team in the current transfer window.
Hajduk Split midfielder Tino-Sven Susic says that he ‘desires nothing else’ than Inter and that he would like to join the Nerazzurri ‘as soon as possible’.
The Bosnian prospect was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport to be a summer target for Erick Thohir's club two days ago, but the player has opened up to the possibility of joining the team in the current transfer window.
“I couldn't wish for anything else than Inter,” said the midfielder, as reported today by the Gazzetta. “I supported Inter as a child, and they purchased Ronaldo.
“A club with that kind of history is a dream, never mind when they're being coached by [Roberto] Mancini. It would be even better than Paris Saint-Germain, where my uncle Safet used to play.
“Besides I like Serie A better, I used to watch it all the time as a kid.
“My idol is [Zinedine] Zidane, but I don't dare compare myself with him.”
The interest of Susic in Serie A comes at a time when neither the League nor Inter themselves are at one of their brightest moments.
“Every team faces a crisis sooner or later, but I'm sure they'll come back among the elite of the world.
“It's true that Serie A used to be the best, but it's still one of the top tournaments in Europe.
“I'd like to join Inter as soon as possible, but it depends on my agents, not on me. And the important thing is getting there. Until there's a signature on a contract, anything can happen.”
Hajduk’s sporting director Goran Vucevic commented yesterday on expectations heading into any negotiations.
“Susic is our best player, we will sell if a good offer arrives,” he is quoted as telling reporters this week.
“But we want to avoid any discounts, his price is €5m.”
