Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has cast doubt on their pursuit of Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri.
Mancini was speaking after their 1-1 draw with Juventus.
He said: "I don't know if that'll be possible. A Coach always hopes to do things quickly, but for many reasons that can't always happen.
"Lukas Podolski hadn't played in a while, so was not fully fit, but he can give Inter a big hand this season.
"A Coach wins with good players. Without them you might win the odd game, but not a League or a trophy."
