The Italian international is being linked with a summer switch to the Nerazzurri and he’s ready to quit the Tuscan side, despite the affection he has for the team. “I met [Inter owner] Massimo Moratti last summer and he asked me if I would be interested in becoming their fourth choice attacker,” Lucarelli told the Gazzetta dello Sport. “I thanked him, but 10 months ago my link to Livorno was untouchable. If I was asked today, perhaps I would accept his offer.” Lucarelli was expected to end his career at Livorno, where he has spent t he last three seasons, after famously rejecting a multi-million pound deal at Torino. But times have changed at the Stadio Armando Picchi, even if he insists his departure would benefit everyone involved. “Over the last two seasons I thought we could compete for a place in the UEFA Cup, but I’ve just picked up disappointments,” he declared. “But if I do leave here then I wouldn’t be running away from the club, that’s because my sale would bring funds to the team.” Lucarelli went on to suggest that his proposed capture by Inter would be a positive step by the club, who have few Italian nationals in their ranks. “It’s hard to find anything wrong with Inter,” he added. “Perhaps there are too many foreigners there which makes it tough to create a group spirit because of the language barrier.” The Nerazzurri, who have suffered another disappointing campaign, are believed to be pondering a ‘Made in Italy’ transfer policy this summer. --
