Gianluca di Marzio reports that Inter is close to signing Atlético Madrid’s Miranda:
Inter is aiming to reinforce the midfield but not only that. Mancini’s team is active on the mercato looking to reinforce many parts of the team and most of all the defense. The new name at the moment is Joao Miranda, the Brazilian defender born 84 currently playing at Atlético Madrid. Miranda is currently playing with Brazil in Copa America and Milan has been chasing him the last few days.
Miranda has been on of the most important players of Simeone’s team, being fundamental for the defensive solidity together with Godin. Now the defender can leave Madrid and Inter is ready to compete with Milan. Inter is keeping continuous contacts for the player and he could cost 13-14 million euro’s plus bonuses, the deal is close to be done. Inter is hoping to finish it during the coming hours and Miranda could be the first gift that Mancini has been expecting.
