Inter Milan eye Brazil's Wellington

Rio de Janeiro, Oct 13 (IANS): Inter Milan are eyeing a January move for highly rated Sao Paulo midfielder Wellington.

Nerazzurri coach Walter Mazzarri sees the 22-year-old as a possible solution to his central midfield concerns, reports Xinhua.

Fellow Brazilian Fernando, out of contract with Porto next summer, is also on Mazzarri’s radar and could join the Italian Serie A club on a free transfer.

Wellington has made 127 appearances for Sao Paulo since his first team debut as a 17-year-old in 2008. He has represented Brazil at Under-18 and Under-19 levels.

Sao Paulo owns 45 percent of the player’s economic rights with the balance held by Shakhtar Donetsk (30 percent) and Atletico Madrid (25 percent).
