Inter owned defender Valentino Lazaro has taken to photo sharing social media platform Instagram to thank fans for their birthday wishes and also encouraged people to stay safe amid the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic.

Lazaro joined Inter in a circa €20 million deal from Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin this past Summer but having failed to break into the starting eleven, he was loaned out to Premier League side Newcastle United for the second half of this season.

The Austrian national team player posted: “Thank you all very much for your birthday wishes. Soon we will be able to go outside again, see the world’s beauty and appreciate it. Until then, stay safe and help each other.”
