With some problems in the striker department at Inter, Robert Acquafresca could be called on from Cagliari as a solution.

Adriano seems as if he could be on his way out, Hernan Crespo is out of favour with boss Jose Mourinho and with the increasing difficulty of signing Chelsea's Didier Drogba, the club may call on the player they loaned out to Cagliari.

Reports in the Corriere dello Sport Mourinho has asked permission from Cagliari boss Massimo Moratti but the club is opposing the shift.
