Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni believe Inter are the team most in need of Antonio Cassano's services.

The 28-year-old Italy international no longer has a future at Sampdoria after falling out with Riccardo Garrone in October.

His contract situation is likely to be resolved at a hearing later today, but as of yet it's unclear what his fate will be.

Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni believe Inter are the team most in need of Antonio Cassano's services.

The 28-year-old Italy international no longer has a future at Sampdoria after falling out with Riccardo Garrone in October.

His contract situation is likely to be resolved at a hearing later today, but as of yet it's unclear what his fate will be.

Interviewed on Controcampo, Trapattoni said: "Cassano would be more useful to Inter than to Milan where there are already at least two players with similar characteristics."

Taken to task on Cassano's personality, he said: "In terms of instinct, Antonio still can't count to three before answering back. But I have seen him improve. I had him for a month [when I was in charge of Italy for Euro 2004].

"He is a player of class and fantasia. But in a team managing the group is the most difficult thing."
