Inter Milan news: Flamengo plot double swoop for wantaway stars

According to what has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport today, Flamengo have expressed an interest in two of Inter Milan's Brazilian players: centre-back Miranda and forward Gabriel Barbosa.

Miranda is set to feature today for the Nerazzurri against Empoli but is coming to the end of his contract and, at 34 years of age, is likely to be moving on from the top flight of Italian football. Flamengo are keen but the player's wage demands could prove to be a stumbling block. However, if Miranda wishes to leave Inter Milan - he may well have the opportunity to do so - but likely not until the summer.

Barbosa, meanwhile, has recently spent a spell on loan with Santos FC, where he has impressed many - including Flamengo again, who could plot a double swoop for the Inter duo, in order to bring them both back to their home country on a permanent basis.
