Inter Milan can trump Real Madrid for Benfica star winger Angel di Maria next month.
Corriere dello Sport says Benfica are reluctant to do business with Real and if they are to sell would prefer the Argentina international move to Inter.
Benfica enjoy a good relationship with the Nerazzurro thanks to the season-long loan deal of David Suazo, whose move could be made permanent as part of an agreement that sees Di Maria transfer to the San Siro.
In Jorge Mendes, Inter coach Jose Mourinho also shares the same agent as Di Maria.
