MILAN - Matteo Politano is officially an Inter player. The Italian attacker has joined the Nerazzurri on a one-year loan with a right to buy next season.

Born in Rome on August 3rd, 1993, Politano came through the Giallorossi youth sector. He featured for the Primavera and helped them secure the Scudetto in 2010-11 and the Coppa Italia in 2011-12. Matteo went on loan to Perugia the following season and made his professional debut in Lega Pro. His 10 goals from 35 appearances played a part in helping the Umbrian side reach the play-offs.

This positive spell with Perugia earned Politano a jump up to Serie B, with Pescara obtaining his signature in the summer of 2013. Matteo soon slotted into the first team and scored six goals in 32 appearances. His second year in Abruzzo saw the striker really establish himself at the club, making 49 appearances and scoring six goals. He was a key figure for Marco Baroni and then Massimo Oddo, with Pescara just missing out Serie A promotion after losing to Bologna in the play-off final.

At this point, Matteo was ready to make the step up to Italy’s top tier, duly signing for Eusebio Di Francesco’s Sassuolo in July 2015. Politano’s performances improved significantly during his time with the Neroverdi, scoring five league goals in each of his first two seasons, and three in the Europa League during the latter.

The 2017-18 season saw him really emerge as a top player, as he played a key role in keeping Giuseppe Iachini’s side in Serie A. He put in a solid run of impressive performances, scoring 10 league goals and one in the TIM Cup. This duly earned him a call-up to Roberto Mancini’s National Team, making his Azzurri debut in a friendly against Saudi Arabia on May 28th.

He’s left-footed with rapid pace and smart technique. He’s versatile (can also play on the wings and in numerous roles across the front) and is also a threat from set-pieces. Luciano Spalletti will now have Matteo Politano available as an additional danger man up front.

#WelcomeMatteo and best of luck ahead of your new Inter adventure!

Welcome to another 3 years of Candreva starting.

 

[yoszee]

Guess the number.

My guess #7

 

[Universe]

He wore #16 at Sassuolo and it's free here.

 

[Maslany]

Good luck, kick Candreva's starting ass please!

 

[Provenzano]

Welcome and good luck!

 

[yoszee]

Missiroli wore #7 since 2012, he joined Sas 2015.
No way he brave enough took that number from a senior.
16 = 1 + 6 = 7

He will take #7, the cursed number.

 

[Nero Indigo]

Good fucking luck. You'll need it for this team #ForzaInter

We decided not to exercise our option on our last #7, he then joint ruben, sounds fitting :work:

 

[MakavelInterista]

I really like this move. We desperately needed some squad depth last season, particularly with Perisic shitting the bed for 3 months and having no other option for Spaletti but to play him.

Good price, solid, dependable, and versatile player. Sounds like a smart signing particularly as we will need depth for multiple competitions next year

 

[Il Drago]

I can't say i am a fan of this move. I don't rate him as highly as others. At least it's a loan with option. I hope he's coming as a backup and not as our starting RW. Anyway, welcome and good luck!

 

[danz]

Welcome to the hell and good luck!

 

[Shark]

Guess the number.

My guess #7

#7 is reserved for Mbappe iirc.

I agree. The price makes this deal actually good. Only downside of this deal is that it could end up like another Cancelo situation where he absolutely bosses and we decide to send him back to Sass.

 

[Mad Biscione]

I have a positive feeling about this fella, he really impressed in the game against us.

 

[Tanel]

Good signing I think, esp with that model. I do hope we do not rest there and get another option so there is an actual competition for the winger positions.

 

[Serie A]

Let's hope you blow up and then stick around, I have no idea what to expect

 

[ScottishInterista]

Loan with option means we cant really complain about the deal especially how its likely we wont actually sign him

 

[Rasha]

welcome kiddo, hope you show this FIF cock suckers how its done

 

[JJM]

already doing the Epic Brozo deal

 

[Illyricum]

Welcome.

I hope u will be our next Skriniar upfront.
