<span class="sommario">According to reports in Italy, Inter Milan have three players that they want to sign for next season &ndash; Daniele De Rossi, Mahamadou Diarra and Jermey Menez.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Yesterday Nerazzurri President Massimo Moratti declared that the club will not be buying anyone during the January transfer window, however he did reveal that players were being lined up for next season.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&ldquo;We are thinking about the transfer market, but only with regards to next season, not in view of January,&rdquo; the oil tycoon stated.<o></o></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The first player Inter want for 2007/08 is Daniele De Rossi. The Roma star is one of the best young midfielders in <st1lace w:st="on">Europe</st1lace>, but his allegiance to his hometown club is likely to complicate any possible transfer.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The second name on the Nerazzurri shortlist is <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Mali</st1lace></st1:country-region> star Mahamadou Diarra. The 26-year-old is said to be unhappy at Real Madrid, and a move in the summer could certainly be on the cards.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Roberto Mancini recently denied any interest in Diarra, however the energetic schemer could be seen as a replacement for the injury-prone Patrick Vieira.<o></o></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The final player of interest is 20-year-old <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Monaco</st1lace></st1:country-region> star Jeremy Menez.

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&ldquo;He is one of the emerging youngsters of French football,&rdquo; Oriali declared.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
