Diego Forlan: Struggled to produce his best during his first season with Inter Milan


The agent of Inter Milan striker Diego Forlan has rubbished reports suggesting his client could cross the city and sign for AC Milan.
It has been claimed the Rossoneri would be willing to take Forlan from their arch-rivals.
The Uruguayan international did not enjoy the best of debut seasons in Italy last term, with the target found just twice in 14 appearances.
Forlan does, however, have a reputation as a consistent goal-getter from his time in Spain with Villarreal and Atletico Madrid.
AC Milan believe they could bring the best out of the 33-year-old, but his representative insists there is no chance of him swapping sides at Giuseppe Meazza.
Waiting

Daniel Bolotnicoff has also played down rumours claiming Forlan could be tempted to Turkey by Fenerbahce.
He told tuttomercatoweb.com: "Forlan to AC Milan? That is not an option for my client. It is not something we will think about.
"A move to Turkey? Not at the moment.
"We will see in the next few days what will happen with Diego."

Marquinho: The midfielder enjoyed a successful loan spell with Roma


Serie A giants Roma have signed midfielder Marquinho from Fluminense for a reported fee of £2.85 million.
The 25-year-old Brazilian joined the Stadio Olympico club on a six-month loan deal during the January transfer window and impressed immensely.
Marquinho, who is a versatile attacker who can also play wing-back, scored three goals during his spell with the Giallorossi.
And now the capital club have agreed a fee with his employers for his services with Roma set to pay the player's transfer fee in two parts, with around £1.65million this summer and the rest to be paid next summer.
The Brazilian started his professional career at Palmeiras and also wore the colours of Botafogo and Figueirense before joining Fluminense in 2009.
