Inter Milan defender Lucio gets a two-year contract extension – Serie A Update
Inter Milan defender Lucio is set to extend his stay at Stadio San Siro by penning down a two-year contract extension, according to reports from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. The player will now be bound to the Nerazzurri until the summers of 2013.
With the 33-year-old now entering the twilight of his career, has been linked with a move out of San Siro in pursuit of better wages. The main contenders keen on Lucio are reportedly the Spanish top flight outfit, Malaga. However, the centre-back decided
in favour of prolonging his stay at San Siro and was looking for a contract extension which has finally come through.
After getting his contract renewed, the defender was talking to the Corriere dello Sport and expressed his satisfaction over his stay at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
"I am very happy. Inter is a great club and I feel very happy here. I know can still win a lot of trophies with this jersey." Lucio said.
The defender joined the Nerazzurri backline in July 2009 from the Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, on a three-year contract. The Brazilian international played a vital role in the 2009/10 term where Inter won a historic treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and
UEFA Champions League. It was the first time an Italian outfit had achieved the milestone and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucio-c22597 was regarded as a key figure of the Nerazzurri squad.
Inter are looking forward to the 2011/12 season to launch a comeback in Serie A as they want the Scudetto trophy back from their bitter rivals AC Milan. The Rossoneri beat Inter by a margin of 6 points in the league table and claimed the Scudetto in the
season ended.
With ambitions to re-live the glory, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799 and Samuel Eto’o are both likely to move out of San Siro during the ongoing summer transfer window.
In order to add a quality player in event of a possible exit, the Nerazzurri are tracking the want-away Captain of Manchester City, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez. If reports are to be believed, Inter want to land the expensive Argentine on a loan del, similar to the transfer
of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 to AC Milan last season.
