Cédric Soares

[ADRossi]

MILAN - Cedric Soares is a new Inter player. The 27-year-old defender joins the Nerazzurri on loan from Southampton FC with the option to make the deal permanent.

Cedric was born in Singen (Germany) on 31 August 1991 to Portuguese parents. He arrives in Milan following previous spells with Sporting Clube de Portugal, Coimbra and Southampton, in addition to being a full Portugal international.

Apart from a year spent on loan at Academica Coimbra, the defender came through at Sporting before making 94 appearances for the first team in Lisbon, scoring two goals and providing twelve assists. He won the Portuguese Cup in 2012 with Academica, winning it again in 2015 with Sporting.

In the summer of 2015, he moved to Southampton where his combination of speed, strength and technical ability secured him a starting spot at St Mary's. He made 104 Premier League appearances, scoring one goal which came this season. He also registered ten assists in his time in England.

For Portugal, Cedric passed through all of the youth sides, finishing as a runner-up at the 2011 Under-20 World Cup. More success was to follow in the senior side for whom he made his full international debut on 11 October 2014.

In 2016, he was among the starters in the final when Portugal beat France to win the European Championship. He was a key player at the 2018 World Cup in Russia as Fernando Santos' side made it to the Round of 16 before elimination at the hands of Uruguay.

Now, the black and blue side of Milan is ready to welcome Cedric Soares. Best of luck in this new adventure with the Nerazzurri!

Hello, Cedric. Enjoy your 6 month holiday in Milano.

 

[Ed.]

Of all our attacking issues, we reinforce the RB position first.. interesting.

 

[Wallace]

Wonderful, welcome il nuovo Cancelo

This means that:

A. Vrsaljko is seriously injured and we don’t plan on redeeming him (Cedric is our new RB)

B. Vrsaljko is pretty injured and we may still redeem him (send Cedric back over the summer)

C. Spalleti/Marotta don’t know wtf they’re doing and just getting random players

D. We still plan on redeeming Vrsaljko but Cedric was brought in for depth at RB/RW (Cheap so like 10 mil or less)

I REALLY REALLY hope it’s B or D otherwise this guy is a freaking downgrade man

 

[YoramG]

Meh.

 

[brehme1989]

Vrsaljko is about to have surgery and we're essentially discussing with Atletico if it's gonna be under our watch or theirs.

more like, who's gonna pay the next 6 months of his wages. i guess if we can make a valid point that they have given us a defective product, it'll be easier to return it earlier.

 

[candreva sucks]

Smart move, Vrsaljko is probably out till the end of season and if D'Ambrosio gets injured we would be forced to play Candreva or Škriniar as RB which would be disaster. If guy shows up, we can buy him relativly cheap, if he doesn't then who gives a fuck, it was just half a million worth loan.

It's B. Clear as sky.

This Cedric move is nothing more. Just to fill a gap which is left there because Vrsaljko might not be available for the rest of the season.

 

[yoszee]

He took #21

Blessed by Santon

 

[Norinder Mudi]

Like it or not I think this is a good move, plus he's cheap.

 

[Wallace]

Like it or not I think this is a good move, plus he's cheap.

Of course, we now have a guy who benches Cancelo.

Wanna swap?

"his defending was diabolical" ok, this cracked me up.

 

[Howl]

Dont mind this signing, but would prefer if we still start D'ambrosio as he's been good.

 

[Maslany]

Sincere welcome!

Please be better than Vrsaljko, somehow...

 

[dynasty27]

Maybe he can also play in mf, instead of Vecino/Borja, new Brozo partner

 

[J..]

A waste of money as we have more important issues to address and because Southampton writes this on their website: "The full-back has joined the Italian side, who are currently third in Serie A and on course for Champions League qualification, with a view to a permanent switch in the summer."

However, welcome.
