Inter Milan is reportedly close to signing Luis Figo from Real Madrid.
Inter has offered Figo a two-year contract worth $US7 million ($A10 million), and although the 32-year-old Portugal midfielder wants $US10 million ($A13 million), a deal could be made at $US8.50 million ($A11 million), the Gazzetta dello Sport reported.
The 2001 World Player of the Year is currently with Madrid on a pre-season tour of the United States and Asia.
Real Madrid vice president Emilio Butragueno said last week that Figo's future with the Spanish club is still "up in the air."
Champions League winner Liverpool has also shown interest in Figo, who has one more year on his Madrid contract. The Gazzetta reported Figo would prefer to move to Italy for family reasons."
Bascially it says that inter will purchase Figo and Samuel (Ironically another Benitez target) by Wednesday at the earlisest, i would say by Friday defenatly.

by the looks of the stories figo hasnt agreed terms with inter, but didnt he agree 60 K with us. this could also be a bad point tho as if we have agreed a wage, whats the hold up???
not too bothered either way as if he goes to inter he is not the man i thought he was (my dream...)
the guardian today say his people are still in liverpool in talks while he is in US so maybe they are just waiting until the tour is over
funny how you dont provide a source , but just "it" AB. get over it boy, Inter just have Admin considerations, hence why i think it will be done by Friday.
As for Gerrard comment. good luck forking out your money to buy his 100k wages.
