OFFICIAL: Inter sign Daniel Carvalho

Inter ‘swoop’ for Carvalho Wednesday 12 December, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter have reportedly made their first signing of the 2008-09 campaign in the form of CSKA Moscow ace Daniel Carvalho.

The Italian giants have allegedly made their move after he caught their eye in the two Champions League games between the sides earlier this season.

The 24-year-old is an attacking midfielder who can be used on either flank or as a central assist man behind two strikers.

The Brazilian is coming towards the end of his contract with the capital club and Inter are ready to swoop.

Stories in the peninsula on Wednesday claim that Carvalho will even have his Nerazzurri medical at some stage on Thursday before signing a four-year deal.

Although his non-EU status may cause Inter a problem, it’s thought they could loan him out for a season as soon as he arrives in the summer.

If this is true then you may have just solved your creative/attacking midfielder problem, he's a quality player.

i'm bitterly disappointed that he is leaving cska but inter have a quality am/winger, one of the best around...he was injured for most of last season and cska really needed him...he is definitely worthy of a first 11 spot if he is fully fit...inter have been very lucvky to get him as i expected him to sign a new deal...

This certainly explains a lot of things.

Lets look what has taken place.

They avoid paying a lot of money for AM, not that he'll be free per say, but we don't pay a lot.

At 24, he is not that old. We should get service from him.

Inter management gave no indication at all that he was coming at all...NOTHING.

Good move, I'm very happy.

A nice little compilation.

Wait...I believe Roma was also in talks with Danny.But only if Mancini were to leave was the case.Although I wouldnt mind him on the left with Mancini on the right.

He's a very good player with a massive left footed shot.Ive always been a fan.

Possibly, nobody is confirming this, so this could be all for not. Not unlike Milan signing David Sauzo??

But he is a free agent in the summer, and we really need an attacking midfielder.

Inter confirm Carvalho capture Thursday 13 December, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter have confirmed the signature of Brazilian attacking midfielder Daniel Carvalho from CSKA Moscow.

The 24-year-old has agreed a switch from the Russian giants and will arrive in the summer.

It is believed that the former Internacional man will put pen to paper on a four-year deal as soon as he becomes a free agent in June.

“Carvalho is a player that our scouts have been tracking forever,” Inter’s general manager Ernesto Paolillo stated. “He is an important figure for the future.”

Carvalho is a non-EU player and may need to be sent on loan when he arrives as the Nerazzurri have a full complement of foreign players.

Reports suggest that Inter’s new man is in Milan today to undergo provisional medical tests and clarify his personal terms.

It looks like a done deal to me.

[Jager]

I have heard that this will be Solari's last season at Inter, and with Figo departing, they'll need him.

He will not be loaned, I highly doubt he would agree to a move to the club if was going to get loaned to a minnow. Makes no sense.

[D-Kin]

He's too good to be loaned out anyway.

Recoba will probably move on.

CSKA deny Carvalho deal Friday 14 December, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is confusion in the peninsula, as CSKA Moscow have denied that Inter have signed their Brazilian midfielder Daniel Carvalho.

The deal seemed to have been done yesterday when Nerazzurri director Ernesto Paolillo stressed his satisfaction at the swoop.

However, today the Russian giants have denied that any agreement has been reached.

“Lately there have been many ungrounded rumours and speculation about Carvalho leaving CKSA,” read a statement on the club’s website.

“CSKA can report that Carvalho’s contract has been extended until the end of 2009 with an option for a further extension.

“We hope that this information will end talk not only of Carvalho’s departure, but also of a so-called ‘Brazilian problem’ at CSKA, which has been invented by the media.”

Inter are yet to comment on the latest developments, but President Massimo Moratti is unlikely to be pleased following the lengthy transfer sagas involving Cristian Chivu and David Suazo during the summer.

Carvalho has signed so will Inter go after Vagner Love or Jô?

They are apparently intrested in all three players...

I don't think so. They are strikers no?

Would you displace Cruz or Crespo for them?

Inter will focus in italy for strikers, and if they get any, they will get loaned. That is policy now, unless they are a phenom or proven.

[LAF]

Vagner Love and Jo are not as good but are far younger. So it is possible.

[ParmaKing]

According to some, including CSKA. This player has signed a two year extension, meaning that Inter will have to deal with the club. This was the day after this was announced, so I'm not sure if something has come out to contradict this?

[LAF]

tbh Inter can get better. He's a very good player but when the likes of Diego and Van der Vaart are available it's quite a poor solution.

I hope we get one of those or atleast Foggia!!
