Rafa Benitez wants reinforcements for the winter mercato. The Inter Milan coach agreed with the president Massimo Moratti on the young midfielder from Werder Bremen: Marko Marin, who has 21 years and is born in Germany. Inter is monitoring the German midfielder for two years and Werder has admitted that it could sell him.

"He has the qualities needed to play in the Bundesliga and the national team. I don’t see why he could not play in Italy in the future" said the coach Thomas Schaaf. Benitez is trying to hide the Milan club’s intentions, saying "Marin has the qualities and may play over several posts. But we got Sneijder, which I prefer".
