Watford 'optimistic' for Inter duo

By Football Italia staff

Davide Santon and Zdravko Kuzmanovic turned down Watford, but patron Gino Pozzo said “talks are in full swing and we can change their minds.”

The Inter duo were meant to make the move for €12m, though Santon denied all knowledge of a transfer in a Facebook post and Kuzmanovic also seems set to reject Watford.

“At the moment I cannot go too far one way or the other, but I can say that talks are in full swing and negotiations continue,” Watford owner Pozzo told fcinternews.

“Are the two players intent on saying no to Watford? I am confident we can change their minds. I remain optimistic and always will be.”

Pozzo and his family also own Udinese and Spanish Liga side Granada.

Watford earned promotion to the Premier League this summer and are going on a spending spree.
