Inter Milan have completed the signing of Raffaele Di Gennaro, who joins as the backup goalkeeper for next season.
The club announced the 29-year-old arrival in an official statement. Di Gennaro returns to the Nerazzurri on a one-year deal until the end of next June.
With Alex Cordaz having left Inter, the club have brought in a new third-choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season.
Inter are pursuing a similar course of action as when they signed Cordaz.
Cordaz was brought back to be the third-choice keeper in 2021 because of his familiarity with the club. He had come through Inter’s youth ranks before embarking on something of a journeyman career in Italian football.
The Nerazzurri are going with a similar strategy once again.
They are bringing back a player who came through their youth academy.
Like Cordaz, 29-year-old Raffaele Di Gennarois an Inter youth academy graduate.
The current Gubio keeper first joined Inter’s youth academy system in 2002. He stayed on as part of the club until 2019, going on various loan spells as he began his senior career.
Moreover, during the 2018-19 season, Di Gennaro had been part of Inter’s first-team squad. He was the third-choice keeper behind Samir Handanovic and Daniele Padelli. Tommaso Berni was also at the club that season.
