Inter sign Andrea Ranocchia

With an eye on the future Inter have signed top Italian defensive prospect Andrea Ranocchia from Genoa.

Ranocchia, who is 22, will spend next season on loan to Genoa, as will Inter forward Mattia Destro who was the top scorer for Fulvio Pea’s Primavera side last season with 18 goals.

I really like the Ranocchia signing. With Lucio and Walter Samuel in the heart of Inter’s defence, Ranocchia would have struggled to play this season. But by loaning him back to Genoa, he gets to keep playing and developing.
