The transfer of Marko Arnautovic from Bologna to Internazionale has been completed. The 34-year-old attacker makes the switch to the Italian top club on a rental basis. Thirteen years ago, Arnautovic already played one season for Inter.
Arnautovic is rented by Bologna to Internazionale for one year. The Champions League finalist has negotiated an option to buy, which will take effect when “certain conditions” are met. It remains unclear exactly which clauses have been agreed.
“I can’t believe my luck,” says Arnautovic X (as Twitter is now called) to his new employer “It’s a great honor to be back at Inter. Thirteen years ago I was more of a fan than a player. Now that I’m back I want to do everything I can to help the win a prize.”
Both parties say nothing about the amount of the possible purchase option. Italian media previously mentioned a transfer fee of 10 million euros. In the Netherlands, Arnautovic had his big breakthrough as a professional at FC Twente, after which he was loaned to Inter in 2009/2010.
He did not break through with the Milanese – who won the Champions League, Serie A and the Coppa Italia in that season. He only played three matches, after which he returned to FC Twente. The tukkers then sold him to Werder Bremen for 6 million euros.
Last season double digits for Arnautovic
After Bremen, Arnautovic started a wandering through all kinds of clubs. He played successively for Stoke City, West Ham United, Shanghai SIPG and Bologna.
Arnautovic, Austria’s record international with 108 international matches, is seen at Inter as the successor to Edin Dzeko, who left for Fenerbahçe.
The 34-year-old Arnautovic was far from worn out last season. He scored 10 times in 21 Serie A matches.
