Statements from managing director Marco Fassone

MILAN – Upon leaving the Nerazzurri
headquarters, Inter’s managing director Marco Fassone answered questions from
awaiting journalists:

Can you give us your comments on Juventus’
press conference, and in particular their mention of a lack of professionalism
on Inter’s part?

"No. I don’t want to comment on their
press conference. I can only reiterate the things we already said. We released
an official statement, and president Thohir gave a statement as well. I also
spoke myself. And for Inter negotiations hadn’t yet come to a close. Yesterday
afternoon we told Juventus the deal could not proceed for various reasons. This
is Inter’s point of view."

The accusations are quite serious, and make
reference to a lack of professionalism.

"I’m sorry but there’s nothing more I’d
like to add to these things, which are club issues or relate to the presidents.
I prefer not to comment on it any further."

Is there a chance of sitting back down at the
negotiating table for Mirko Vucinic?

"I don’t know, and I’d prefer not to
comment any further. We already fully discussed these matters in depth
yesterday."

Can you confirm that president Thohir will
arrive on Sunday?

"I don’t know the president’s plans
precisely, but he should arrive in the next few days."
