Manchester United are pursuing star playmaker Wesley Sneijder, Inter President Massimo Moratti has confirmed today.But having already allowed Jose Mourinho to leave the San Siro this summer, Moratti insists that he has not yet been tempted to sell any of his top stars. Though a closer look at the figures may yet twist his arm. Speaking to Sky Italia, Moratti said:
"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real, but I didn't look into it in an attempt not to fall into temptation."
The Inter supremo also confirmed that he had received offers for star fullback Maicon, and unsettled striker Mario Balotelli. but despite being linked with the richest clubs in the world, Moratti rebuffed the bids: "Offers for Balotelli and Maicon have been too low."
Mourinho is thought to have made Maicon one of his main target as he looks to tighten up the Real Madrid rearguard. While Balotelli has this week emerged as a target of Manchester City, where he would be welcomed by former coach Roberto Mancini.
Moratti however, has rubbished reports that "Super Mario" has asked to leave the Serie A champions, instead suggesting the players agent may have drummed up some artificial interest. "It seems like an advertising campaign to me. In any case, Balotelli has not come to me to ask to be sold." The clearly frustrated President adding: "I don't understand why a problem has to be created."
