Muntari To Fly Out To Milan
Sulley Muntari’s move to Inter Milan has taken a step closer with news that the Portsmouth midfielder will arrive in Italy on Friday add the final touches to a five-year contract.
Muntari was in sensational former for the south coast club last term, helping the side to FA Cup glory and in the process attracting the interest of a host of European clubs.
As revealed by Goal.com on Thursday, the 23-year old had expressed his desire to move to Inter to Pompey manager Harry Redknapp after Nerazzurri manager, Jose Mourinho, made public his interest.
While Redknapp stated that the former Udinese player would not be making a return to Serie A, Inter’s failed bid for Chelsea star Frank Lampard opened up further finances to fund the move.
A source closer to the player told Football365.co.za that the move has been agreed, saying: "Its done. Sulley will leave England for Italy tomorrow morning to have a medical test with Inter," the source said.
The Ghana international is expected to cost his new employers around £11 million, with additional amounts due depending on particular milestones, and the player himself will earn around £3.million a year.
