Crespo signs for Inter
|
Internazionale have signed Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo on a two-year contract.
The Argentine international has insisted in recent months that his future lay away from Stamford Bridge and now he has been granted his wish of a move.
Former club Milan had been leading the chase, but recently crowned Italian champions Inter joined the chase earlier this month and have now secured his signature.
Inter have confirmed that Crespo has arrived on a free transfer, but Chelsea have the option to buy him back after one season.
The move sees Crespo move back to the Nerazzurri - the club he spent a year with before his move to West London in 2003.
Jose Mourinho did not want to lose Crespo and he was offered a fresh deal at Chelsea, but a move back to Italy was always his preference and now he has sealed the deal by putting pen to paper with Roberto Mancini's men.
The move now leaves Chelsea a striker short, with just Didier Drogba and Andrei Shevchenko - the likes of Arjen Robben and Salomon Kalou can fill in but Mourinho is more than likely to move for another forward before the transfer deadline at the end of August.
