The Moroccan national team full back today completed a €45 million including add-ons move from Real Madrid to Inter, who he has signed a five year contract with.

The 21-year-old, who is widely regarded as one of the best up and coming full backs in the game at the moment, has also become the seventh most expensive African player in football history.
