Unhappy Arsenal outcast Lukas Podolski open to Inter Milan switch in January
INTER MILAN are ready to launch an official offer to sign Arsenal outcast Lukas Podolski.
Lukas Podolski could make a January switch to Inter Milan
It's no secret that the German international is unhappy on the sidelines in North London, and Roberto Mancini is more than willing to save him from his bench-warming status.
The former Manchester City boss wanted to bring the 29-year-old to Galatasaray during the summer, only for money constraints to foil his plans
But his new position in Italy has given him the financial muscle needed to attract a player of Podolski's calibre.

Podolski is aware of Mancini's interest and further fuelled the likelihood of a transfer.
He said: "I don’t say that I want to leave or that I leave in winter. I just think about my situation and my situation is unhappy.
"It is like anyone who is not getting a chance at doing their job.
"Galatasaray were interested in me however, no direct contact was made nor was an offer put on the table. We’ll see what happens in January."
