Inter Milan president Erick Thohir has confirmed his club's
interest in signing Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna.
The 31-year-old right-back is out of contract at the Emirates this
summer, which means Inter and any interested foreign suitor has
been allowed to talk to him since January.
Thohir has now revealed that they are waiting to hear from Sagna
as to whether he will be making the move to the San Siro.
"I can only say that we like Sagna and that at this point it all
depends on him. If he does not arrive, we will take a younger
right-back."
Sagna is still in talks with Arsenal about a possible new deal,
whilst Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea have
been linked with the Frenchman.
Meanwhile, Thohir spoke about other aspects of Inter's squad and
revealed that they would be looking at improving their strike-
force, but not with former star Samuel Eto'o, who had been linked.
However, he admitted an interest in both Fernando Torres and
Edin Dzeko.
"Where we will make the most important investment? It will be
made in attack or midfield. (A return of) Eto'o? In attack we have
[Rodrigo] Palacio, who is over 30 and [Maruo] Icardi who is very
young, so the other striker has to be in the middle age."
When asked about Dzeko, Torres and Morata he replied: "I too hear
these names. Maybe one of them will really arrive. But he must
respect our salary parameters."
