With Piotr Zielinski joining their ranks, the Inter Milan midfielder department now has a combined 510 career goals.
The 30-year-old saw out his contract with Napoli, thus ending an eight-year collaboration. The Pole then signed for the Nerazzurri as a free agent.
Zielinski’s arrival completes what has now become one of the most terrifying midfield units in Europe.
Simone Inzaghi now has six competent players vying for three starting berths in the middle of the park.
Moreover, La Gazzetta dello Sport (via FcInterNews) notes how Inter’s midfielders have scored a whopping 510 goals throughout their respective careers, a figure that is difficult to match.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan leads the scoring charts with an impressive 227 career goals. The 35-year-old has been playing at the highest levels for more than a decade.
He represented Shakhtar Donetsk, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Arsenal and AS Roma before joining Inter in 2022.
Inter Milan Midfielders Score More Than 500 Career Goals – Piotr Zielinski Third On The List
Hakan Calhanoglu lands second on the list with 134 goals. The Turkiye international is an exceptional penalty-kick taker and is also a free-kick specialist.
The 30-year-old has been playing in a deeper role over the past two years which reduced his goals from open play. Nevertheless, he still occasionally contributes in this regard.
Zielinski completes the podium with 68 goals, ahead of Nicolo Barella who boasts 39 strikes.
But at the age of 27, the Euro 2020 winner can still improve his scoring charts.
With 38 goals, Davide Frattesi is closing in on his Italian compatriot. The 24-year-old often started from the bench, but he showcased a knack for scoring last-gasp winners.
Finally, Kristjan Asllani completes the list with four goals to his name. As a deep-lying playmaker, finding the back of the net isn’t a primary objective for the Albanian.
