Inter Milan Croatia International Explains Nerazzurri Transfer: “Inter A Top Club In Europe” | OneFootball

Petar Sucic officially became a new Inter Milan player today after completing his long-awaited transfer from Dinamo Zagreb.

Speaking to Inter TV via FCInterNews, he revealed why he decided to join the Nerazzurri despite being courted by other top clubs.

Inter and Dinamo agreed Sucic’s transfer toward the end of January.

However, the Serie A runners-up left the 21-year-old on loan until the end of the season.

Indeed, Petar Sucic had struggled with a long-term knee injury when the clubs struck an agreement.

Therefore, Inter thought staying in his homeland for six more months would be in his best interest.

But the waiting is over.

Sucic signed the papers today, meaning he will be available for Inter’s upcoming trip to North America.

The Nerazzurri will fight for FIFA Club World Cup glory, and the Croatian midfielder will likely be part of the squad.

Petar Sucic Reveals Why He Joined Inter Milan

“To me, Inter is one of the biggest clubs in Europe,” he stated. “When the opportunity arose to come here, I had absolutely no doubts.

“I really wanted to join, it’s a huge opportunity. I know how prestigious this club is and what it represents, and I’m very happy to be here.”

Meanwhile, Sucic worked under former Inter defender Fabio Cannavaro toward the end of his Dinamo Zagreb career.

“He spoke very highly of it – about the league, the club, about Italy, and about Milan. We had a great chat.”

Then, he discussed his potential role at Inter.

“I don’t really like to talk about myself,” he added. “I’m a player who enjoys playing for the team.

“And I want to help my teammates as much as possible and give everything I’ve got.

“I’m very happy to be here and can’t wait to get started.”

Furthermore, Sucic believes this move will help him grow as a player.

“I think I’ll be able to learn a lot. This club has very experienced players – top-level ones – who have played in the Champions League for years, and who’ve featured in World Cups, European Championships, Copa América…

“All of that proves how much experience they have, and I believe they can really help me.

“Personally, I think I can improve tactically, defensively, and offensively.

“Nobody is ever perfect, and I believe you have to try to grow every day – that’s what I’ll work hard to do.

“I don’t really know how to introduce myself. As I said earlier, I’ll try to do my best and help the team.

“I’ll give everything I have on the pitch, I’ll give everything for this club. That’s definitely what fans can expect from me.”

Finally, he admitted he spoke with ex-Inter stars Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic.

“Definitely. I spoke with them before coming here.

“They confirmed how big this club is, how prestigious it is, and they told me a lot of positive things.

“It made the decision really easy for me. They all wished me the best of luck in this new adventure.”
