Inter Milan announce Vidic signing

Inter Milan have today announced that Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic will be joining the club in the summer.

The defender announced last month that he would not be renewing his contract with Manchester United and had attracted attention from several clubs around Europe. However, Vidic choose to join the Italian side Inter Milan.

Inter Milan’s president Erick Thohir spoke to the clubs website saying “"Vidic is a world-class player. I'm extremely happy to have completed this deal to bring Nemanja to Milan.

"He's one of the world's best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree and charisma will be an asset to the team and help bring through our younger players.

"He will bring added value to the club and is another piece of the great Inter side we are building.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Manchester United, Nemanja and his entourage for the professional and co-operative approach they have shown throughout the negotiations."
