What is the reason why you chose to join Inter Milan? What does this transfer mean to you?

I think Inter Milan is a club with a deep tradition. When I received their invitation, I accepted it without hesitation. It is my honor to be a member of this club. Wearing Inter Milan's jersey means a lot, and I am proud of it and can't wait to debut at Meacha Stadium.
