“From the first day, all the Inter fans showed me great affection and I immediately felt this club was like a family,” the Argentine told Inter TV.

“It’s a great thing, because with the unity and humility shown, we can achieve great objectives. Mauro Icardi, Matias Vecino and Borja Valero immediately helped me to settle in. I also knew Joao Cancelo from his time at Benfica and have a great rapport with Rafinha.

“We know full well what the objectives are for this club and we must all work for this. The fans can rest easy, I will defend the jersey.

“I had many other offers to leave Lisbon, but as soon as my agent mentioned Inter, I had no doubts. You can’t say no to Inter. I already knew about Serie A thanks to some friendlies against Italian sides. I’ve always watched it, just like La Liga and the Premier League. The game is very tactical here.

“Julio Cesar is a friend and he told me all about Inter and its history. He confessed that he was very happy here, but also had a lot of responsibility.”

Lisandro Lopez also revealed how he chose shirt number 2, once worn at Inter by legend Beppe Bergomi.

“I always liked 2 and it has been part of my career for a while now. I’ll try to honour the Inter jersey in the best way.”
