“I guess this means Tsipras is interested in making some kind of deal with the EU after all.”

Actually more the other way. To the European elite, the EU is EVERYTHING, it is their baby, their only child, they will not let it die - NO WAY!

They will find a way to keep Greece in, and Tsipras knows it - which is why the vote was so important to him - now he can set the conditions and Europe will have to simply abide by them.

Just watch.

I just wish this Greek drama would end, getting so tired of hearing about it. For what it's worth this comes from Varoufakis himself:

Soon after the announcement of the referendum results, I was made aware of a certain preference by some Eurogroup participants, and assorted ‘partners’, for my… ‘absence’ from its meetings; an idea that the Prime Minister judged to be potentially helpful to him in reaching an agreement. For this reason I am leaving the Ministry of Finance today. I consider it my duty to help Alexis Tsipras exploit, as he sees fit, the capital that the Greek people granted us through yesterday’s referendum.
