Inter approach Barca for Rakitic and Vidal

Italian media has said that Piero Ausilio, Inter's sports director, travelled to Barcelona. There he watched the match between Barcelona and Lyon in the Champions League.

But Piero Ausilio had a goal: to meet with Barça to ask them about Rakitic and Vidal. He did so, according to 'Tuttosport'.

Piero Ausilio spoke with Abidal and Planes, members of FC Barcelona's sports team. During that conversation, the Inter representative took the opportunity to make several enquiries about two footballers: Rakitic and Vidal.

Both Barcelona players are on Inter's agenda. It remains to be seen if this supposed interest materializes in firm offers for one of them (or perhaps for both) in the next transfer market.
