Manchester United dealt blow as Atletico Madrid ace Diego Godin 'on the verge' of joining Inter Milan
ATLETICO MADRID centre-back Diego Godin is reportedly close to penning a two-year deal with Inter Milan – dashing the hopes of Manchester United signing him.
SunSport revealed that the Uruguayan international was set to leave the La Liga giants having not been offered a new deal by the club.
The 32-year-old – who was chased by the Red Devils last summer – is set to become a free agent at the end of the campaign.
Jose Mourinho was believed to be enraged with the two-time Europa League winner after he pulled out of a deal to move to Old Trafford on deadline day.
He accused the player of using him and United as leverage in order to get a new deal at the Wanda Metropolitano, with Atletico chief Miguel Angel Gil Marin promising him fresh terms.
But a new offer has yet to come in, and according to Di Marzio, Godin is on the verge of joining the Nerazzurri when his contract expires.
