Inter Milan looking to sign Mexican teenager
Tuesday, 08 July 08, 04:24 PM
According to a top Mexican sports publication, Tecos de Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara president Antonio Leaño that Inter Milan is very interested in signing Heriberto Aguayo.
So who is Aguayo? Yes, that my first reaction. He is a defender in the Tecos' youth academy. Leaño made it clear that Aguayo will go to the "Neroazzurri" on the condition that the teenager is given favorable terms if Inter is respectful with the Zapopan-based squad. The objective is to sign an agreement in which both UA de G and Inter will each have 50 percent of his Aguayo's rights.
It's worth noting that Aguayo participated in a tournament in Italy which the Tecos' youth team ended up winning. Three weeks later, Inter Milan representatives started approaching him and his family to offer the opportunity to play overseas.
Tecos and Inter are now in contact with each other and are in the negotiation stages, although UAG's management is aware that another three teenagers are also being targeted by the Italian side.
This situation normally happens in South America, but in Mexico this is still something new. Tecos management is doing the right thing by making sure that the terms are favorable regarding Aguayo's possible move to Inter Milan. What surprises me is that Inter is after three other players from this team. It makes me thinks what the "Neroazzurri" intentions are.
Another reason that this is also newsworthy is the fact that Italian teams normally don't sign Mexicans. They only show interest and it doesn't go beyond that. I recall that about a decade ago, Chivas Guadalajara's Pedro Pineda was thisclose to getting transferred to Inter Milan. Since then, no Mexican player has been that close to playing in the Serie A.
