Inter Milan have tabled a bid for CSKA Moscow winger Milos Krasic. The Serb has been valued at £17m and Juventus director Beppe Marotta flew out to Russia for negotiations this week.

However, Inter have now taken decisive steps towards snatching Krasic away on the orders of new Coach Rafa Benitez.

"Rafa wanted Milos when he was at Liverpool and now he is at Inter they have made a written offer," agent Dejan Joksimovic told the Sunday Mirror.

"We have been in negotiations with Juventus as well, but Inter are coming to Moscow to speak to his club about him in the next few days.

"There was interest from the top clubs in England, but they weren't quick enough.

"It is almost 100 per cent Milos will be going to Italy."
