Inter Milan have announced the signing of Genoa defender Andrea Ranocchia.
Inter have paid 12.5million (£10.7m) for the 22-year-old, who they already owned half of after signing 50 per cent of his rights last summer.
Ranocchia has now penned a four-and-a-half year deal at the San Siro.
Genoa had released the player a week early to allow him to train with his new team-mates.
Ranocchia is now in line to make his Inter debut against Napoli on Thursday.
