Inter Milan Trying To Terminate Osvaldo's Contract

Inter Milan are trying to pass the buck back to Saints after problem boy Osvaldo goes awol from training.

Inter Milan have had enough of Dania Osvaldo and have gone from trying to offload him to another club to trying to kick him out citing a breach of contract.

As it stood Osvaldo's problem with Inter was nothing to do with Saints in the fact that he was contracted to them for the season, now however it seems he has breached that contract by failing to turn up to training and not informing the club of any reason .

Inter have immediately suspended I'm and this is being seen as the first step to invoking a clues in the contract allowing them to cancel it should he be in breach of club discipline.

Inter have clearly had enough and who an blame them.

Reports in Italy are saying that prior to his disappearing act Inter arranged potential loan deals to Genoa. & Cagliari in Italy as well as Queens Park Rangers in England, Osvaldo rejected the offers and did his moonlight flit.

Since his arrival at Saints Osvaldo has become an expensive folly, although he had played under Pochettino before at Espanola the now Spurs boss seemed loathe to play him at times and it was hard to see where he would fit in the system alongside Rickie Lambert and that became more complicated s Jay Rodriguez leapfrogged both of them as the main goal scoring option, it seems that Osvaldo was signed as a statement rather than fitting into the team's style of play a little like Gaston Ramirez a year earlier.

Now it is hard to see where he will go next, certainly Saints won't ant him back and will be lumbered with his alleged £75k a week wages plus substantial bonus's for another two years, the only hope being to try an loan him out with a small contribution being received from hi wages.

Osvaldo is looking more and more like a folly who by the time his contract has run out will have cost the club somewhere in the region of £35 million taking into account the transfer fee, wages, bonus's as well as national insurance and pension payments
