Andy Diouf has officially completed his transfer to Inter from RC Lens at a reported cost of €20m plus €5m in add-ons.

The midfielder underwent his medical tests today and passed without incident.

He then put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Nerazzurri.

The France international only turned 22 in May and already has two senior caps for his country.

He spent time in the Paris Saint-Germain and Stade Rennais youth academies, flourishing at FC Basel in 2022-23 for a €5.5m move.

Only a few weeks after that transfer was completed, he was sold on at a huge profit to RC Lens for €14m, and now two years on that price tag has again increased to a total of €25m.

Diouf was identified as the reinforcement for the Inter midfield after an initial attempt to get Manu Koné from Roma was rebuffed.
