In German media, Sport Bild and Kicker agree: Luiz Gustavo will leave Wolfsburg to move to Inter. Another departure for the Wölfe, after Diego Benaglio and Ricardo Rodriguez, who is moving to Milan. The cost for the operation is around 15 million EUR. The Brazilian had been rumored to be on the list for the Nerazzurri for over the past few months, as they try to shift their squad under new coach. Concerns over FIFA financial fair play and organizing a competitive team under an incoming coach will all be going through the minds of Inter owners and directors. Cost effective transfers for top class players will be the focus of one side of their summer transfer strategy.

The 29 year old Brazilian has been on and off of Serie A clubs radar for many years. His technical ability, work rate, and athleticism make him an excellent choice to deputise in many Italian midfields. In addition he can play in multiple roles and satisfy key characteristics without any struggles. His experience in Germany, with Bayern and Wolfsburg have made Luiz Gustavo a well rounded player, ready for battle in any league in the world.
