Will Goran Pandev leave Inter Milano in summer?
There are speculations that Inter Milan will let some players to leave the club in summer to make room for other players.
After the attack was strengthened this winter and are expected other forwards in the summer probably some of them will have to leave Inter. Goran Pandev is the first striker who seems unhappy with his team status .

Inter Milan is ready to offer €50 million for this two players from Arsenal. If Robin Van Persie is probably at the best moment of his career, scoring 12 goals in all competitions in 2011 and would be harder to buy, Andrei Arshavin is at most delicate moment since he arrived at Arsenal losing the first eleven and would not say no to a new challenges.
