He'll complete the Croatian trifecta. Similar to the German trifecta of van Basten, Rijkaard and Gullit we had in the late 80s.

It will be called Internazionale, because we are brothers of the world.
Inter is an artistic venture, almost poetic. It is capable of provoking immense, unreachable joy and bitter disappointment. It’s never done by half-measures.
For me, Inter is the opening to new worlds and courage. It’s a strong passion, a marvellous illness. You can put up with the weaknesses and admire the courage, the same way you would with a son.— Massimo Moratti
I don't think anyone would say something childish like that.
Sime is an upgrade. I am happy like everyone else that we get him rather than some Darmian
We will have a very good team next season defensively but as people have pointed out, we still lack a bit of creativity going forward. Thus, I think Cancelo would add to that dimension with his primary attribute.
It is just an opinion/argument, not a lament. And definitely not a criticism against our transfers campaigns.
Vrsaljko most probably won't be a protagonist in attack but is huge upgrade over Dambrosio and looks like great deal on today's crazy prices.
Yes we are!!I would never do that direct swap, as I consider Vecino much more valuable 30-35m compared to Zappacosta 20-25m max. But I rate Vrsaljko higher than Zappacosta and Darmian, so we are winning here. We can always sell Vecino for more money and cash in this window.
Great news and excellent deal!
Serie A, La Liga & International experience - perfect profile, still has his best years ahead of him and already has friends here. He will fit in immediately.
Ausilio is really upping his game this year. I don`t think we had a better option and the price is fair, especially given the conditions.
This deal leaves us money for a midfielder without fucking up the FFP.
what do you mean by WE?!maaaaan you need your coffee...

I agree but it might turn out to be even better than Cancelo for the squad balance - this year we already have others to be protagonists in the attack, while Šime is better at defending than Cancelo.![]()

Sime Vrsaljko is expected to arrive in Italy this evening ahead of a medical with Inter, where he will wear the #2 shirt.
The 26-year-old will interrupt his summer holiday to travel to Milan and will reportedly undergo his medical tomorrow morning.
From WhoScored.com:
Sime Vrsaljko: Of the 57 players to attempt 75+ crosses, only Jesus Navas (12.8%) had a worse cross success rate than Vrsaljko (13.6%) in La Liga last season
#CONTEOUT
"When I had just become President, I went to Austria for our match. On the stadium billboard it was written: 'Inter Milan'. I went to report to the manager of the opposing team that it was enough to leave Inter. So they canceled Milan "

Translation thanks to Michael: INTER BUM BUM
Two signings requested by Luciano Spalletti are coming.
Vrsaljko is acquired, Vidal is just one step away.
To Atletico Madrid is 6.5 million for the loan and 17.5 for the redemption of the Croatian.
Same formula with Bayern: 20 million in total and three-year contract to Arturo.
INTER UNLEASHED: VRSALJKO SIGNED, AND NOW VIDAL
Sime is an Inter player as Atletico Madrid accepted the latest increase.
The right back is coming for 24 million total (6.5 immediately). Tomorrow is medical
Arturo is one step away: Bayern have said yes, this deal is worth 20 million euros.
There is an opening for loan with option: per the Chilean, three-year contract is ready worth 4.5 million a season.
The right wing of Inter now has its master, one that is at a very high level. Inter have closed the deal for Sime Vrsaljko, the club’s top choice: another vice-champion of the World Cup is coming. Sime will play together with Perisic and Brozovic with whom just over two weeks ago, he was one step away from an incredible feat.
Agreement with Atletico Madrid was found yesterday evening: a loan with option to buy (this formula is a must due to UEFA FFP) for a total of 24 million. Inter started with an offer of 22 million, the Colchoneros, after the World Cup, re-evaluated Sime’s overall value and demanded 30. The agreement was found with probably the last increase that Inter were willing to do: loan for 6.5 million and option to buy at 17.5.
DESIRE - Inter have closed this operation thanks to the will of the player which has given the Italian club so much momentum. At first, it seemed very complicated because the desire of Atletico Madrid was to sell Vrsaljko outright and for the reluctance of Diego Simeone to sell the player. But now, the coach will have Arias from PSV and so his club is convinced to accept the formula of “deferred payment” and Sime is satisfied: he will return to Italy where he arrived in the summer of 2013 from Dinamo Zagreb. He then spent three seasons here between Genoa and Sassuolo (79 appearances). Inter project convinced him, Brozovic and Perisic did the rest of it.
WORLD CUP - The Croatian newspapers recently started to call him “Escobar” for his hair full of gel and a very “South American” mustache. Vrsaljko certainly did not have his best season with Atletico but with his national team’s checkered shirt, he showed why Simeone invested 16 million in him two summers ago. At the World Cup, he allowed Inter fans to see a glimpse of what he is capable of especially in the semifinal against England. He crossed the ball in for Perisic for the equalizer and saved Stones’ header right on the goal line. Connection with the forward, making plays in the midfield, attention in defense: that is everything you could possibly want from your starting fullback.
In addition, there is also his character, demonstrated by not backing away from anyone and when needed, he did even have some decisive stops. Even outside the field. After beating Messi, he said that “I saw the Argentinians falling to the ground and crying like girls.” Words that were not taken well in Buenos Aires but maybe his new captain, Mauro Icardi, will not mind because he was excluded from that group.
NUMBERS - Sime turned 26 years old in January and in Russia, he had the most crosses out of anyone with 34. A fundamental style of play for Inter, one that last year was very important. He also perfected his defensive abilities which were already naturally good. The 68.8 kilometers ran in six World Cup games confirmed that he is a true runner. Vrsaljko also had 12 interceptions showing the ability to read the opponents.
His signing completes Inter defense now have three top central defenders, Asamoah on the left, D’Ambrosio is now the first to come off the bench for the fullbacks (he can play on both sides). In case of a three-man defense, the Croatian can play as a right midfielder but in emergency situation, he can also be a right winger (Gasperini used him there at Genoa).
IN MILAN TODAY - Vrsaljko could already arrive in Milan this evening to have medical tomorrow. Then he will go back to vacation for a few more days and then return to Spalletti and Inter only during the week of August 6th, like his national teammates. Between an unexpected World Cup final and a wanted return to Italy, it was a short and very busy summer for Vrsaljko.

Gagliardini best italian midfielders 2020/2021
The more recent reports suggest the total cost will be closer to €24 million rather than Atletico’s original demand of €30 million, which makes it an even better deal!
