Inter Deny Materazzi Reports

January 21, 2009

Inter Milan have rejected claims that the club have received an offer for Italian international defender, Marco Materazzi.

It had been reported that English Premiership side, Tottenham Hotspur, had made enquiries about the centre-back with Manchester City and Portsmouth also understood to be keen to bring the player to England.

Inter sporting director, Marco Branca, has refuted the speculation:

“We have not received any offer from any English teams for Marco Materazzi. Marco is under contract with Inter until June 2010. Usually the club’s position regarding players like Marco is to keep them.”

Materazzi, who has appeared on only five occasions for the Nerazzurri this season, previously played in the Premiership with Everton, where he was sent off 4 times in only 27 appearances. He is perhaps best known for being on the receiving end of Zinedine Zidane’s headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final; a moment that marked the end of Zizou’s game and indeed his football career.
