Internacional: 'It would take big money to buy Leandro Damiao'

Brazilian striker Leandro Damiao's club Internacional have insisted that it would take a big offer for them to part with the player this summer.

Damiao has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Napoli and most recently Zenit St Petersburg, but Internacional remain determined to keep hold of him.

"He is focusing on Internacional," the club's director of football Marcelo Medeiros told Zero Hora.

"If anyone wants to sign him, it would be a great deal, but they will have to pay a lot. He is still an Internacional player."

Reports on Tuesday suggested that the Brazilian is close to agreeing terms with Russian side Zenit.
