Inter Technical Director Marco Branca: Sulley Muntari Has Handed In Transfer Request

Inter midfielder Sulley Munari hands in official transfer request to club.
Inter technical director Marco Branca confirmed yesterday that midfielder Sulley Muntari has handed in a official transfer request.

The 26-year-old, who moved to Italian football from Portsmouth in 2008 for a fee of €16 million, has made just 12 appearances in all competitions for the Nerazzurri in the current campaign, and is desperate for regular first team football.

As a result Branca, speaking to Sky TV ahead of yesterday’s 4-1 win over Bologna, stated that the Ghana international had made it clear that he sees his future away from the European champions.

He remarked: “He [Muntari] has made himself available to leave as long as a team wants him and is interested in him. He is a lad who is close to us, he is a good person, even though he expresses opinions of someone who wants to play.”

Muntari had been a first team regular with Inter during previous boss Jose Mourinho’s first season at the club, but slowly drifted out of favour, and looks set for a winter switch, with a host of English Premier League teams placed on red alert.
