Sulley Muntari looks to join Inter for £12.7 million

July 25, 2008

Sulley Muntari, the Portsmouth midfielder, looks likely to sign for Italian giants Inter Milan for £12.7 million in the next day or two. According to reports the Ghana international has penned a four-year deal with the Italian champions.

Muntari is just 23 and signed for Pompey for £7 million in 2007. He has played just one season for Pompey, and helped them win the FA Cup this year.

This could spell good news for Chelsea, as it means Inter and Jose Mourinho may now not be looking to sign Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard. It’s widely regarded that Mourinho wanted Lampard, but considered Muntari as an acceptable second best.

Harry Redknapp will not want to let his prized midfielder leave Fratton Park, but the cash injection will be welcome to the wheeler dealer manager.

Muntari will be leaving Pompey to play Champions League Football, for the champions of Italy under one of the best managers in the game. It was too much to resist.
