Internazionale are carefully monitoring Ryan Giggs's contractual dispute with Manchester United.
The Welsh winger has been in wonderful form for United since being deployed in a more central attacking role and sparkled again in the New Year's Day win at Middlesbrough.
Sir Alex Ferguson is determined to retain the long-serving star but United's policy is to offer one-year extensions to players in their thirties. Giggs is seeking a two-year deal and, despite the prospect of there being an option to remain at Old Trafford for an additional 12 months, talks have stalled.
The 31-year-old wants to remain with The Red Devils and all parties are determined to thrash out an agreement.
Nevertheless, Inter are long-term admirers of Giggs and he is being viewed as an alternative to Aparecido Cesar if their bid for the Lazio wide man stalls.
Nerazzurri supremo Massimo Moratti is known to be a great fan of the player and has tried to buy him in the past.
If Cesar does not arrive from Lazio then the expectation in Milan is that Inter will bid for Giggs's services providing the Welshman decides to sever his ties with United.
However, Inter are understood to be awaiting developments as their belief is that the former England Schoolboys captain will stay in Manchester.
