Crotone president Gianni Vrenna is eager to establish a partnership with Inter Milan.

Crotone have taken young striker Samuele Mulattieri on-loan in exchange for Alex Cordaz.

“We were looking for that role," Vrenna said of his club's search for a striker, “in [Mulattieri] we saw the right element for our coach's ideas. We hope that his form will be repeated in Crotone, both for us and for him, a young man who in the future will have the possibility of playing for major teams."

Before their defeat to Inter yesterday, Vrenna went on to talk about relations between Crotone and Inter, explaining the overtures between the two clubs.

“We started by selling Cordaz to Inter, they reciprocated with Mulattieri. We hope to be able to do something else, to be able to bring some other Inter players here. With the coach and [Crotone Sporting Director Beppe] Ursino we are evaluating the right profiles, who can give us a hand to have a great season as favourites."
