Earlier on Thursday Goal.com revealed how the Italian club were waiting to sell Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United, before upping their interest in the 27-year-old Argentina forward.
Tevez has been strongly linked with a move to Inter after a deal to head back to Corinthians collapsed, and Branca admitted there was some interaction between them.
“There was one meeting and it was casual and very nice, it happened on a beach in Sardinia,” Branca told Il Corriere dello Sport.
