Serie A - Motta hints at Inter exit
Internazionale midfielder Thiago Motta has suggested that he is on the verge of a move to Ligue 1 big-spenders Paris Saint Germain.
Asked about the likelihood of a switch to France, Motta said: “I spoke with the president and the club, we clarified a lot of things, now we have to see.
"Paris is a great city, there’s still eight days until the end of the transfer market. Anything can happen.”
PSG sporting director Leonardo confirmed the club's interest in the deal, saying: "It's a possibility, but for now nothing is done."
Brazilian-born Motta has been at Inter since 2009, and made his Italy debut last year.
Italian media report that should the 29-year-old leave the club, the Nerazzurri would step up their interest in taking Nuri Sahin on loan from Real Madrid as cover.

He is so important for the Inter midfield very good @ controlling the pace of the game. Apart from Sneijder heis Inter's next most important midfielder. It would be quite disruptive to the team if Inter let him go but 10 million for a player thats gonna be 30 this year aint a bad trade but only if there are quality reinforcements.
Normally I'd keep him, but when you're selling to PSG it's probably wise to take their inflated fee. They've got Poli and Obi anyway, or put Sneijder in a deeper role and leave Alvarez in the first team.
