Former Nerazzurri midfielder Clarence Seedorf opened up on his transfer from Real Madrid to Inter in the 1999-2000 season.
“I heard that the club was discussing my transfer with some other clubs – Roma, Arsenal and Manchester United. The club needed money so we decided to part ways.”
“I got the phone call from Marcello Lippi. I was in Rio de Janeiro on holiday at that point – he woke me up actually – I said, ‘Hello, who is this?”
Speaking further on ‘that’ phone call with his soon to be coach he added, “Lippi said I want you to come to Inter and play behind Ronaldo and Vieri. I said, ‘Can you say that again? Give me just five minutes, I will pack my stuff, I am coming.'”
“I accepted; I went to Italy a few days later and started my journey with Inter. It was short, but amazing.”
The former Dutch international, who became more of a household name while playing for Inter’s city rivals Milan, posted a video to his Instagram account accompanied by a photo from his debut:
