Italian giants Inter Milan are one of the biggest clubs in football. As such, over the years, Inter have made some of the finest signings in the Beautiful Game.
Many are also club legends after recording notable successes in Italy’s fashion and design capital of the world.
The club faces more complicated festivals these days, but in the past, when Inter Milan appealed, the most sensible players found it hard to turn down the chance to play for one of Italy’s most esteemed clubs. English players chase titles for highly favored teams in terms. of the odds of winning the Premier League, like Manchester City at 4/6, would accept the possibility of playing for Inter. The establishment has hired world-class professionals.
What’s more, in addition to watching classic shows like Football Italia on Channel 4 and making the most of all the football predictions before having fun, those same talented superstars would appeal to a wide audience looking to complement their TV shows and their escapades by watching the biggest and most productive stars light up in an Inter Milan shirt.
Romelu Lukaku is perhaps the perfect modern-day example here, particularly as he enjoyed a more fruitful spell in Italy.
The Belgian striker is not, however, the top-flight player to swap a primal festival like the Premier League for new pastures at Inter. In fact, before Lukaku’s €80 million transfer to the club, a plethora of masters shone at Inter.
It’s hard to forget Ronaldo’s impact on Inter and his influence on the game in general. At a time when Serie A could simply sign the most sensible players in its peak years, the signing of Ronaldo from Barcelona for €26. 50 million was a huge addition in 1997.
The Brazilian striker’s natural ability with the ball at his feet has made him one of the most entertaining strikers to watch.
As the star of the team, he only helped to deliver one major trophy during his time at the club, but the 1998 UEFA Cup triumph would surely have been supplemented by a range of other trophies had he not suffered a serious knee injury that disrupted his progress.
Still, what player did Ronaldo have to do with. For many Inter Milan fans, he is the most productive they have ever seen, despite his move to arch-rivals AC Milan in 2007.
With a penchant for orchestrating things from midfield, Wesley Sneijder is another unforgettable star who excelled on occasions while playing for the club.
The Dutchman signed for €15 million from Real Madrid in 2009. The Spanish giants’ loss was most definitely Inter Milan’s gain.

Real have opted instead for the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. However, in the end this backfired, as Sneijder played a major role in Inter’s victory, which included the Champions League in the 2009/10 campaign.

We can’t mention all the major additions in Inter’s history, but there are a few acquisitions that we can’t leave out.
For starters, Samuel Eto’o has been immense for Inter Milan after his departure from Barcelona. The move came after Barcelona paid €46 million for Inter’s Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic with the Cameroonian star over the deal.
Likewise, Walter Samuel and Julio César are two icons of Inter, especially because they did not earn much money. Both players were an integral component of Inter’s resolute defense.
In addition, the fact that the reliable Esteban Cambiasso signed for Real Madrid in 2004 was a masterstroke.
Inter Milan fans have been able to enjoy special performances over the years, that’s for sure.
