On his day, Quaresma can hypnotise defenders with technique and trickery just like Cristiano. His talent was evident to the spectators whenever he was on form, but what he lacked was consistency. He emulated his International teammate so spectacularly at times which compelled the then Inter Milan manager Mourinho to approach Porto with big money for his signature. Expectations were high when he signed for Inter in 2008 for a fee of £22.14m.

Quaresma was only a ghost of his past for Inter. For Inter, he was not the quick and confident player who could break even the strongest of defences. He was wasteful, sloppy at times and failed to deliver when it mattered. He was criticised for the lack of discipline by Mourinho. He made 32 appearances for Inter and was sold to Besiktas in 2011.
