Vidic agrees Inter switch

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic
has agreed a deal to join Inter .
The Serbia international, who announced in
January that he intended to leave Old
Trafford this summer, will sign a two-year
contract worth €3 million (potentially rising
to €3.5m) per year.
Vidic is understood to have informed
United of his decision to move to Italy after
a deal was agreed following the club's 0-0
draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium
last Wednesday night.
Piero Ausilio, Inter's general manager, has
been in close contact with Vidic's entourage
since January and spoke in glowing terms of
the defender after he made his
announcement to leave United .
Ausilio was in attendance for the Premier
League clash against the Gunners where a
gentleman's agreement was struck between
the two parties.
Erick Thohir, the Inter chairman, views Vidic
as a potential ambassador for the club and
is looking to use the player's vast
experience as a means to engage his home
nation's interest in football and open up
the Indonesian market.
Vidic will become the Serie A side's first
signing of the summer and is seen as a
sensible piece of business, adding
experience, quality and value for money
given no transfer fee will be paid.
Monaco and Galatasaray showed interest in
Vidic but the centre-back judged Inter's
offer to be the most appealing.
Vidic moved to Old Trafford from Spartak
Moscow in 2006 and has won five Premier
League titles and the Champions League in
his eight years with the Red Devils.
