Ricky leaving?!!

The 24-year-old joined Inter from Velez Sarsfield in the summer of 2011, but has been unable to live up to expectations at the Giuseppe Meazza side.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri are ready to cash in on the Argentine come January, with both Catania and Chievo keen to snap up the creative midfielder.

Inter have long been interested in the Sicilians' attacker Alejandro Gomez, and they could include 50 per cent of Alvarez's rights in order to convince the Sicilians to let go of their star player.

Chievo, meanwhile, may opt for a player-exchange deal involving Marco Andreolli, who has caught the attention of Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni.

Andreolli came through the ranks of the Inter youth academy, but left the club for Roma in 2007.

Nevertheless, both clubs face stiff competition in the race for Alvarez's signature as River Plate are keen to sign the midfielder, too.

i really like the player, he is talented, but honestly he did nothing to us, very inconsistant and he never seemed interested in what he's doing

yea Alvarez is a weird case. i still wish we could give him a run of games in a decent position on the pitch, but i don't see that happening

i saw that post coming bhends

me toooo

I hope he doesn't leave, i think he plays an important part in Stramas team, albeit not as a starter.
