Joao Mario wants Cristiano Ronaldo at Inter Milan
Inter Milan midfielder Joao Mario is eager to convince national team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo to move to San Siro to play alongside him at the Serie A giants. The 24-year-old moved to Inter from Sporting Lisbon in the summer transfer window and wants the 4-time Ballon d’Or winner to also make the move.
Speaking in an interview with Inter Milan’s official website, Mario said: "Portugal have a lot of quality, but Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously our talisman, our most important player.
"I am trying to talk him into joining me at Inter! Let's just say it is difficult! He is not just a team-mate - he is also a friend, a good person and a born leader. He is a great guy who cares about everyone."
