TRANSFER MARKET DALBERT INTER OFFICIAL /  Dalbert Henrique is a new Inter player! The Nerazzuri have sealed the deal after a very long negotiation phase with Nice. The Brazilian fullback has signed a contract until 2022. 

As 'fairplayassessoria', the agency that manages the player reported, Inter will pay €20 million + bonus. Dalbert signed a 5-year contract with the Nerazzurri. Nice will receive 20% of the player's future resale. 

Inter released the following official statement: “Dalbert Henrique Chagas Estevao is now an Inter player, with the Brazilian full-back signing a contract until 30th June 2022.

Born on 8th September 1993 in Barra Mansa, with its 450,000 residents in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Dalbert initially began his playing career with his local team before then moving on to the youth academies at Fluminense and Flamengo. In 2013, he moved to European football as he was signed by Academico Viseu of the Portuguese second division. After two years of development (in 2014-15 he was named best left-back in the league), he moved up to the Primeira Liga with Vitoria Guimaraes, who were then managed by former Inter man Sergio Conceicao. In the 2015-16 season, he made a total of 27 appearances in the league and cups.

Last summer, Nice took a chance on Dalbert and it turned out to be a great decision. The Brazilian established himself as one of the most interesting left-backs in Ligue 1, as he made 33 league appearances; one in the French Cup and four in the Europa League. During this positive campaign, he was a key figure as Nice kept the pressure on Monaco and Paris Saint-Germany, ultimately finishing third and securing a Champions League spot where they will now face Napoli after beating Ajax. Under Lucien Favre, Dalbert showed great physical and technical ability as he got up and down the flank and he came up with four assists last season. Furthermore, he was the Nice player with the most crosses (94) and the most dribble attempts (100). 

Now, he’s a Nerazzurri player. Welcome to Milan, Dalbert and good luck for our new adventure together!”

Dalbert expressed his happiness for his new adventure.

“I am realizing a dream that I’ve had since I was a child and I'm very happy to have achieved this goal. I hope to help Inter reach the top and win titles. The negotiations were complicated but I wanted to get them done. Being here now having completed this objective is very important. Today I am very pleased to be part of this project. I want to be happy here and I hope that the effort is worth it in the future.” (INTER.it)
