MILAN (Reuters) - Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has confirmed his interest in Manchester United's Welsh international winger Ryan Giggs and says "it would be fantastic" to recruit team-mate David Beckham along with him.
"Maybe the discussion is a little premature, maybe it is too soon also for us and so for both the clubs," Moratti told the daily Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday when asked about Giggs.
"But it is always interesting to know if you can open talks, because it can even happen that you can then close a deal."
Asked whether he would also be interested in bringing England international Beckham to the San Siro, Moratti said: "Take both of them? Certainly, it would be fantastic, but who knows what Manchester would think".
Italian media have said that Moratti has had a longstanding interest in left-winger Giggs and the latest bout of rumours began after Inter pulled out of a deal to sign Real Madrid's Argentine winger Santiago Solari in January.
Inter had an option on Solari as part of the deal which saw Ronaldo head to Real Madrid last year and their decision not to take up the option led to the suggestion that they had lined up Giggs for next season.
Beckham's future at United was brought into doubt after a dressing room incident in which Ferguson kicked a boot which struck the England midfielder in the face and, as in the past, Italy was raised as the most likely destination for the player.
But AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti and Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi have both ruled their clubs out of any possible bidding for Beckham.
