Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti has urged club chiefs to move for Lanus midfielder Diego Valeri.

"He is extraordinary and I really like the way he interprets the sport," said Zanetti.

For his part, fellow Argie Valeri said: "In the past few days I have spoken to Zanetti and it was incredible to hear a champion like that use such words of praise about me.

"He advised me to stay calm, because soon we would be working together in Europe. I still can't quite believe what is happening to me."
