Inter Milan have reached a deal
to sign Brazil defender Miranda from Atletico Madrid, ANSA
sources said Friday.
The 30-year-old centre-back is set to move on loan for two
seasons, although the Serie A side will be obliged to make the
transfer permanent at this end of this period, in a deal worth
around 12 million euros.
Miranda will undergo a medical in Chile, where he is
taking part in the Copa America with Brazil, before Inter made
the move official, the sources said.
Inter have also signed another central defender, Colombian
Jeison Murillo, from Spanish side Granada.
The three-time European champions announced Friday that
former midfielder Dejan Stankovic is their new team manager.
"I am honoured to be coming back to Inter," said the
36-year-old, who was assistant coach at Udinese last season.
"I am thrilled and excited because I've always said these
colours will remain on my skin forever," added the Serb, who won
five Serie A titles, four Italian Cups, the Champions League and
the Club World Cup during his 2004-2013 stint at Inter.
"I cried the day I realised I wouldn't be pulling on the
Nerazzurri shirt anymore.
"I'm back here now, with a sense of pride and
determination, to do my best for the club in a different role".
