Agent insists Muntari will quit Inter in January

Published on: 29 October 2010

Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari will quit the San Siro in January with talks scheduled between the player’s representatives and the Nerazzurri.

The Ghanaian has struggled to get a starting place at the Serie A side this season but he has refused to comment on possible return to England.

One of his agents Fabien Pivateau revealed that Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Everton are the Premier League clubs who have registered interest in the former Portsmouth midfielder.

However the player’s chief representative Frank Schreier  has now revealed that there is interest from Spain, but the Premier League is the Ghanaian’s preferred destination.

Muntari, 26, moved to Portsmouth in 2007 for a fee of £7 million and was signed by current Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, who is thought to have the edge in the race to sign the powerful midfielder.

Schreier told Sport.co.uk that: “It could be that he will leave in the January transfer window, we have to arrange a meeting in the next few days in Milan to discuss his future, and then we will know the conditions of a transfer.

“There has been contact from the Premier League, but also in Spain. But for Sulley a return to England and the Premier League is definitely a possibility.

“I will not speak directly about the clubs involved, but it is the ones who have followed him previously.”

It is thought Muntari would command a fee in the region of £8 million , although a short term loan move is also a possibility.

Muntari helped Il Serpente secure a historic treble under former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, which included a Champions League triumph against Bayern Munich.
