After La Liga President Javier Tebas questioned their pursuit of Luka Modric, Inter have announced they will take legal action against him.
The 56-year-old made his thoughts known on several matters on Friday, namely the Nerazzurri’s pursuit of the Real Madrid man, Juventus’ signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, along with PSG and Manchester City’s transfer dealings.
“Things don’t just happen because we make mistakes, and I don’t think this is the case, but at other clubs things have happened which shouldn’t happen,” he told ABC.
“I’m not only referring to PSG, but also Juventus with the signing of Ronaldo, and Inter, who have no money to buy players but then offer a mountain of money, the source of which I don’t know.
“Tricks in the transfer market? I don’t know about Juve. We’ll have to see how their deal [for Ronaldo] pans out, but Inter’s offer for Modric hid some tricks.
“The PSG-Neymar issue was also rigged. PSG are a club of ‘just tricks’ like Manchester City, and this generates circumstances that destabilise the market and media.”
