Inter Milan keep tabs on Diarra row at Real Madrid

Inter Milan are keeping tabs on Mahamadou Diarra's situation at Real Madrid.

Well aware of a rift between Diarra and Real coach Fabio Capello, Inter directors Lele Oriali and Marco Branca are monitoring developments closely with a view to moving for the Mali star at the end of this season.

Inter are seeking a ball-winning midfielder and would love to prise Diarra away from Real.

The former Lyon star is on the outer at Real after TV cameras picked him up criticising Capello in conversation with Antonio Cassano.
