I think this comes as Inter show no respect to other clubs...
Inter to lose Chivu too? Tuesday 19 June, 2007 -- channel4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After losing David Suazo, Inter also look set to miss out on Cristian Chivu as the row with Roma over David Pizarro rumbles on.
The Nerazzurri are finding it tough to be as dominant on the transfer market as last summer, when many sides were waiting to discover the verdicts of the Calciopoli penalties to decide their strategies.
They had been very close to signing Giallorossi defender Chivu in part-exchange for the remaining half of Pizarro’s contract, but negotiations have ground to a halt.
It all centres around Pizarro, who joined Roma last year in a co-ownership deal. While the Chilean has made it clear he wishes to remain at the Olimpico, Inter are refusing to renew the split contract.
The San Siro giants want at least £4.3m for the other 50 per cent, but Roma consider it excessive and the situation is heading towards a blind auction.
This is when two clubs put a bid into a sealed envelope and the highest figure wins the full control of the player.
Roma chief Rosella Sensi does not want to combine the Chivu talks with those for Pizarro, as the Romanian defender would be preferably sent abroad to Barcelona rather than for Scudetto rivals Inter.
