Genoa activated their option to buy Ansaldi from Zenit at €4.8m and have already agreed to sell him on to Inter, where he underwent a medical this week.

“He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. When he was young he went to Russia and won everything, partly achieved his aims at Atletico Madrid and now, after Genoa, it’s a dream to play for a big club like Inter,” agent Pedro Aldave told Calciomercato.com.

“The interest goes back a year, but nothing came of it at the time. A month ago (Inter director Piero) Ausilio contacted us and the negotiations began in earnest.

“Javier Zanetti’s words were fundamental in helping Ansaldi choose Inter, because he is an idol and above all an example to be followed.

“The project intrigued us for the players who are already here and the fact many Argentines are coming in, who Ansaldi knows well. He realised there is a project to get Inter back to winning ways.

“Considering the squad, the Coach and the history of the club, clearly Inter will fight for the Scudetto and go back to doing well in Europe, as they always have done.”
