Inter Eye Zabaleta And Casilla

Inter are weighing up an approach to land Pablo Zabaleta from Espanyol at the end of the season and are also keeping an eye on young goalkeeper, Kiko Casilla.

The Italian giants have been linked with a move for the Argentinian full-back in the past, but are now preparing to make their interest more concrete.

A bid of around €6m will be Inter's starting gambit as Espanyol must brace themselves for a flock of their players being the subject of offers from other clubs.

Zabaleta is seen by Roberto Mancini's side as the player that could fill a missing place as Maicon likes to attack and Javier Zanetti can be empolyed more centrally.

The Espanyol defender would offer more stability as he is seen as a convnetional full-back that sits deep and does not power up field to help the forwards at every opportunity.

Inter are also said to be keeping an eye on the Barcelona-based club's young keeper Casilla as he has impressed several of Europe's top clubs since his day with Real Madrid's youth teams.

Also linked with a move away from los Periquitos is defender Marc Torrejón, who is the subject of increasing interest from the English Premier League.
