Luis Jimenez has joined Italian champions Inter after completing his loan move from Ternana on Wednesday.
The Chilean midfielder, who is owned by the Serie C outfit, spent last season with Lazio after moving to the capital club in January.
The Biancocelesti had the opportunity to purchase the Jimenez’s full ownership, but the player chose to leave the Stadio Olimpico and sign a one-year contract with Inter, with an option to extend for another three.
“I am very happy to be here, to have this important and prestigious opportunity,” Jimenez told the gathered Press as he was finally unveiled by as a Nerazzurro.
“I want to thank those who made this transfer possible, Ternana, Lazio and, above all, Inter who chose me,” added the 22-year-old.
“I hope to give something to this team. I want to improve and learn, Inter are a dream come true. I am happy, very happy, and I hope to repay the faith shown in me.”
Jimenez is already in Brunico with his new teammates and completed his first training session with the squad on Wednesday morning.

Ok, I won't mention the 'I' word.
Basically another midfielder in an already packed midfield, and another HUGE ego.
Good luck.

I used Lazio in FM2007 once, didn't get why a Serie C team would own a Serie A player?

No-one will pay what Ternana want for him basically.
It's not often a team below Serie A has a player of such quality on their books, he was loaned into Serie A and his value rocketed, Ternana know this and want to make as much money as possible.
He is a great source of investment for their club, £5m-£6m is a fortune for a club like that.
The loan is £1m, with a possible £5m transfer.

He wants out now, accusing Mourinho of lying to him.

So that's Maxwell and Jimenez who both want out now. Two good players whose values have plummeted thanks to Jose.

To be fair to Moaninho the squad at Inter is always too big to keep everyone happy, plus they sign players with attitudes.

True, the squad is very large. That's emphasised under Mourinho who tends to find a favoured XI and stick with it, rotating very little. If he hadn't been forced to rotate by injury, I'm sure he'd have a very unhappy centre-back or two on his hands as well.
