Rome - A new Roberto Carlos for Inter. It's Aleksandar Kolarov, the Roberto Carlos of the Balkans, as he was dubbed early in his career because of a dynamite left foot that was so similar to the original. The transfer of the Serbian to Inter is already in session and it is becoming more and more likely. It seemed like the deal designed to take off next summer, but there was a sharp acceleration in the last days when one side has the understanding that it is better that the deal goes through now.
This is it The club of Moratti has realized that Kolarov can serve immediately. Mourinho feels like the left-role is vacant (even though Chivu adapted the role) and would like that see the gap filled. Lotito, on the other hand, because of the case of Pandev (zero euros) has decided to remove the "non-transferable" status from the Serbian. The Lazio president has delayed once again to renew the contract which is expiring in 2012 (but Kolarov can leave as early as in the summer because of the Article 17). And so it is. Moratti, Branca and Lotito, Tare are ready to meet and try to bridge the gap which is still significant.
Yes from Santon Lotito values Kolarov at 15 million, a figure that he is willing to lower only in exchange for appropriate compensation. The first deal (Krhin and Destro) didn't interested the Lazio patron. The turnaround has occurred with the inclusion of Davide Santon. By letting Kolarov to Inter, Lazio will have the opportunity to use this gem, but only until the end of the season. Lazio are forcing a co-ownership, but they are watching with a great interest of a loan. Santon at Lazio would be very happy, because the spaces at Inter at the moment are denied. Also, he can grow up to go to the World Cup. But Santon, like his club, is just looking for a loan deal.
