Arsenal Ace Cesc Fabregas Will Join Inter, Who Have Opened Insurance Policy For Him - Report
Inter could sign Fabregas in the summer after taking out an insurance policy for him, according to reports...
Inter are so certain of landing Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas at the end of the season, they have taken out an insurance policy against him becoming injured in future, according to Sky Sport Italia.
Despite Fabregas being under contract with Arsenal, Inter have reportedly added his name to their insurance policy which applies to every player under contract with them, such is the guarantee that the Spanish international will join Jose Mourinho's side.
Fabregas could form a formidable partnership with Esteban Cambiasso in central midfield should the audacious move come to fruition, and Mourinho will adapt his formation to play with the Gunner in mind.
It's no secret the 'Special One' is a keen admirer of the former Barcelona player and part of the deal will see troubled striker Mario Balotelli join Arsenal. The Italian under-21 striker has often been linked with a move to north London.
Such a move is rare in football in terms of clubs taking out insurance policies to protect players before their arrival, but reports in Italy are certain this has happened, fuelling speculation that Fabregas has already decided to join Inter at the end of the season.
"Fabregas is not yet under contract at Inter, but he will be. Fabregas to Inter. You have understood well," is what the reporter from Sky Sport Italia said when their news bulletin was aired on Tuesday afternoon. -

Arsenal offered Mario Balotelli as Inter Milan eye £36m move for Cesc Fabregas
No 1 target: Cesc Fabregas
Inter Milan have entered the race to sign Cesc Fabregas and hope to tempt Arsenal by offering Italy Under 21 star Mario Balotelli in a player-plus-cash deal worth £36million.
However, the Italians look set to be disappointed, with both the Gunners and their skipper reluctant to court a deal.
Reports on Italy's Sky Sports network suggested a deal may already have agreed in principle, but Fabregas's representatives told Spanish paper El Mundo Deportivo that there had been no contact, let alone and agreement between the two parties.
The 22-year-old is also wanted by Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus, but Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he has no intention of selling his lynchpin.
Mourinho is keen to add another creative midfielder to his squad and has also encouraged a bid for Liverpool's Steven Gerrard.
Arsenal may seek a separate deal for Balotelli, who appears to be on his way out of San Siro after clashes with boss Jose Mourinho led to him being completely left out of the squad to face Chelsea in the Champions League earlier this month.
Hot shot: Fabregas has been in fine form for Arsenal
Balotelli has since been filmed wearing an AC Milan shirt - the team he openly supports - and said of the victory over Chelsea: 'It was the team that won at Stamford Bridge, not Mourinho.'
The 19-year-old will be left out for the fourth straight game when Inter play Livorno on Wednesday night.
Inter president Massimo Moratti is a huge fan of Balotelli and hopes the striker can patch up his differences with Mourinho, but the striker is the one who will be sacrificed if the relationship cannot be salvaged.
Manchester City have also been linked with Balotelli, while Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is a confirmed admirer.
Meanwhile, a survey carried out by Spanish sports paper Marca revealed that Real Madrid fans want Fabregas and Valencia winger David Silva to be their club's top two transfer targets this summer.
More than 55 per cent of respondents wanted Fabregas - despite his links to Barcelona - putting him ahead of Wayne Rooney (37.5 per cent), Ashley Cole (24.3 per cent) and Franck Ribery (40.2 per cent) in the beauty contest.

balotelli is good, but has attitude problems. don't think wenger wants him. although he is kinda short in firepower..
with only bednter, rvp(injured), arshavin(mostly on the flanks) and vela..
after the season they should seriously get some strikers that can hold the ball well.
maybe goran pandev.. he's good you know -

They missed out on pandev already. -
total 36 mil pounds is no go. 36mil pounds + Balotelli, i can tell you, Wenger MIGHT just be tempted to sell.
But i still think he will stay. If it is 65mil pounds + balotelli, will be quite sure wenger will sell.
-
19 yrs old and 36M
hmmm -
Wenger will not sell. I think that Balotelli is still a unproven player.

But i think if Gunners do not finish as what Fab wants them to, he might just seek for greener pasture. Not in Serie A i doubt, i cant recall any good Spainish player plying his trade in Italy, in fact, only Pepe Reina, Torres, Fab and Guiza plays outside spain in the national team!
-
doubt he will move to italy..
-
Balotelli plus sneijder and 30 Million pounds.. then i believe wenger will sell...
-
sell his tui to you arh??? at most he'll sell Sol Campbell
-
Errr... I think the title is off a little, it's $36m total and not player + $36m... First paragraph mentioned (player-plus-cash deal worth £36million.)
