SUNDERLAND PUSH INTER MILAN TO DROP RICKY ALVAREZ PRICE Submitted by Tribal Football Staff 11 hours ago Share on emailShare on print Sunderland chief Lee Congerton is happy to keep hold of Ricky Alvarez. Despite the Argentine's battle with injury this season, his on-field form has convinced Sunderland management to extend his stay. Alvarez is on-loan at Sunderland from Inter Milan and can be signed permanently for €8.5 million. Congerton is unhappy with the price, given Alvarez's injury problems this season, and has scheduled a meeting with Inter this week in an attempt to negotiate new terms, says TMW. Sunderland are hopeful of settling on a fee closer to €7 million.
