The agent of Geoffrey Kondogbia says he gave up money to sign for Inter Milan.

The former AS Monaco midfielder joined Inter this week.

“Geoffrey is a player of international level and Champions League clubs were after him," Italian-based representative Paolo Schiavone told fcinter1908.it.

“He received offers from England, Spain and Italy, as Milan and Inter weren't the only clubs interested in Serie A.

“However, the lad is fascinated by the project that Roberto Mancini proposed to him. It's false to say he just went for the money, as Kondogbia wanted Inter and would've accepted even lower wages. After all, he would've earned more under the Milan contract.

“It was never an issue of money. Geoffrey wanted a project to wed himself to and he found that in the Nerazzurri."
