Inter Milan have joined the race for Werder Bremen star Diego.

Juventus chief Alessio Secco was in Germany yesterday for talks regarding the Brazil international midfielder, while Fiorentina's interest has also been confirmed this month.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Inter will challenge Juve and Fiorentina for Diego as the summer market draws nearer.

Meanwhile, Inter are close to signing outright on-loan Ternana midfielder Luis Jimenez.
