Real Madrid midfielder Guti has reiterated he would join Italian champions Inter “with open arms” to link up with Samuel Eto’o and Wesley Sneijder.
"I said that because Inter are a great team that I follow constantly and fondly," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
"Two of my best friends, Sneijder and Eto’o, play there. ‘Samu’ and I clicked many years ago when we were both little kids in [Fabio] Capello’s squad."
"Our footballing roads diverged , but our friendship has remained intact."
"As for Wesley, had I been a Real director or a coach I never would have sold him. But the club had different economic need and that’s what happened."
"Still, I’m happy for him because he can give Inter that little extra quality they were lacking."
But Guti does not expect to pursue his dream of making San Siro his home before he retires from football after spending 24 years at his hometown club.
