Inter Milan has added a new dimension to their midfield by signing Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski on a four-year deal. The 30-year-old joins the Serie A giants after his contract with Napoli expired at the end of June. Zielinski’s arrival marks a significant coup for Inter, as he was a pivotal player in Napoli’s historic Serie A title triumph in the 2022-23 season, their first in 33 years. His experience and quality will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to the Nerazzurri.
Zielinski’s journey to Inter has seen him rise through the ranks of Italian football. He moved to Italy at the young age of 17 to join the Udinese youth academy, making his Serie A debut in November 2012. After two successful loan spells at Empoli from 2014 to 2016, he secured a permanent move to Napoli.
On the international stage, Zielinski has been a consistent performer for Poland. He made his debut in June 2013 against Liechtenstein and has gone on to represent his country at three European Championships, including the ongoing tournament in Germany, and two World Cups. His impressive record of 12 goals in 93 appearances for Poland speaks volumes about his talent and dedication.
Inter’s statement welcomed Zielinski with open arms, highlighting his “class, character and plenty of experience in Serie A.” They emphasized that he is the first Polish player in the club’s history, making his arrival even more special. As Zielinski embarks on this new chapter in his career, expectations are high. He is poised to bring his winning mentality, technical prowess, and vast experience to the Nerazzurri, aiming to contribute to their continued success in Serie A and beyond.
