Inter boss present at Parma-Palermo clash on scouting mission

Inter boss Roberto Mancini was in the stands at the Stadio Ennio Tardini during Parma’s home clash with Palermo on Sunday afternoon to watch a number of potential targets.

The Nerazzurri coach is desperate to reinforce his squad for next season, and was on hand to run the rule over a number of players during the Ducali’s 1-0 victory.

Tuttosport reports that Palermo’s impressive trio Achraf Lazaar, Franco Vazquez and Paulo Dybala were all being watched by Mancini, but turned in underwhelming performances for the visitors.

Parma’s highly-rated 18-year-old midfielder Jose Mauri was also under surveillance, and Mancini will have been impressed by the youngsters performance.

With Parma a near certainty to be relegated to Serie B despite the victory, Inter hope to establish an unofficial partnership with the club so that they can loan their youngsters to the club to grow and nurture.
