Inter signs Zielinski after Napoli departure
Inter Milan has confirmed the signing of Piotr Zielinski on a free transfer after his departure from Serie A rival Napoli.
Zielinski had been widely expected to join the Nerazzurri after running down his contract with Napoli, where he helped the club win the Scudetto in 2022-2023.
The Poland international joined the Partenopei for €16 million ($25.7 million) in 2016 after spells with Udinese and Empoli, making 364 appearances for the club throughout a distinguished eight-year spell.
The 30-year-old has now penned a four-year contract with Simone Inzaghi's Serie A champion and is hoping to help it compete for more silverware next term.
"I will try to give it my all to make the fans happy, they are fantastic and San Siro is one of the best grounds in Italy," he said.
"I will do my best to show my skills and bring other trophies to the club. I am very happy because I'm joining one of the best sides in the world. It is an honour, I can't wait to get started."
Zielinski will not be the only new face at San Siro, with former Porto striker Mehdi Taremi set to arrive as a free agent and Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martinez reportedly close to joining in a €13 million ($20.8 million) deal.
