Lisandro LOPEZ has joined Italian club Inter.
Benfica’s towering centreback has joined Serie A giants Inter, following a medical on Monday. Inter have signed the Argentinian on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.
Current reports state that Benfica will receive about €500,000 for the loan deal with Inter having an option to buy him for €9 million at the end of the season. Speaking with Inter’s official website, here’s what Lisandro had to say:
Lisandro LOPEZ speaks about Inter move:
“To play for a club such as Inter who are one of the biggest in Europe is a dream which means a lot for me. I’ve come here to give a hand to the team, to help it reach its objectives. There have been a lot of Argentines at Inter. Among others, SAMUEL, ZANETTI and MILITO come to mind and they’re all players who’ve made history. I hope to do well too. I used to follow Serie A and it’s one of the best leagues in the world for me. It’s very tactical, very competitive and I’ll look to give my all and learn day by day.”
LOPEZ joins fellow Argentine and club captain Mauro ICARDI.
Good move.He showed some promise in Spain. But I don’t know what happened at Benfica.
