Report – How Inter Milan Beat Two Serie A Rivals To Dinamo Zagreb Jewell’s Signature | OneFootball

Inter Milan pipped domestic rivals Como and Juventus to the signature of Dinamo Zagreb up-and-comer Petar Sucic in January.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri had to go to great lengths to complete this transfer.

Petar Sucic will link up with his new teammates in June after the club left him in Croatia on loan for the rest of the season.

However, Inter faced challenges in securing the 21-year-old’s services.

Indeed, they had to outmaneuver domestic rivals to land a potential long-term replacement for Marcelo Brozovic.

Como and Juventus tried to hijack Inter’s move for Sucic.

But Beppe Marotta and his associates acted decisively to strengthen the team’s midfield for the future.

Simone Inzaghi will have the rising Croatian star at his disposal for the 2025/26 campaign.

Meanwhile, Inter agreed to pay Sucic’s boyhood club €14 million plus another €2m in bonuses to sign him.

Furthermore, they had to give Dinamo Zagreb a hefty 10 percent on the future resale to get the go-ahead.

Hopefully, Sucic will maintain a rich tradition of Croatian midfielders at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
