Inter Milan close to £7M Juventus deal for Vieira

Inter Milan are on the verge of sealing a £7 million deal for Juventus midfielder Patrick Vieira.
Juve GM Alessio Secco lunched with Inter directors Marco Branca and Lele Oriali yesterday where a £7 million offer was introduced for the Frenchman.

Inter patron Massimo Moratti is willing to hand Vieira a long-term contract, which was discussed between the player and Branca in a London meeting earlier this week.

During yesterday's talks, Inter's interest in fellow Juve stars David Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic was also outlined.

Secco asked for Julio Cruz, but the Argentine is regarded as untouchable by Inter.
