07/25/2008 - Portsmouth, England (Soccer Betting) - Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari has confirmed that he is on the verge of sealing a big-money move to join Italian champions Inter Milan.
The 23-year-old Ghana international only joined Pompey a year ago, arriving for $14 million from Udinese and went on to score five goals in 33 appearances for the South Coast club.
However, Muntari says he cannot turn down the chance to link up with Inter, having previously seen a possible move to Manchester United fall through.
"There are teams when they come to you, you need to listen to them," he told Sky Sports. "Harry has developed my game, he has been a father figure to me. I love him and also the Portsmouth fans, but when Inter call you need to listen.
"I have already missed a chance to play for a super team, this time I need to seize it."
Pompey boss Harry Redknapp had earlier said that he was unwilling to allow Muntari to leave Fratton Park, but has now accepted that the lure of the San Siro was too much to resist.
"Sulley is a terrific player but, like everything, you have to look at it again if you get a very good offer," he said. "I want to keep him and would be sorry to lose him but every player has his price. Sometimes an offer is too good to turn down, no matter who the player is.
"I like Sulley, he's a good player. You have got to be a good player to have Inter Milan interested in you, but that's how it is."

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
