Internacional’s manager Dunga has admitted that failing to sign Nilmar could be traumautic if expectations to bring him to the club are too high.

Negotiations continued yesterday as Nilmar and his agent Orlando da Hora met Internacional executive director Newton Drummond in Porto Alegre.

The former Villarreal forward is the favorite option to replace Leandro Damião, who might be in his way to Europe, although an offer from Napoli has recently been rejected.

The club’s president Giovanni Luigi is not confident they can sign Nilmar though, he told Rádio Bandeirantes: “We are always monitoring Nilmar, he has a great affection for the club, but it’s very difficult to make it happen.

I have been talking with his agent and with his father-in-law, who is a big Internacional fan. It seems more likely he doesn’t come though.”

Dunga is also skeptical about the possibilities of signing the Al-Rayyan forward, he told reporters at a press conference: “Any club would like to have Nilmar, but it would be very difficult if we dreamt of signing him, and he did not arrive. The trauma would be higher.”
