MILAN - Inter Milan have signed Brazilian right-back Jonathan from South American champions Santos on a
four-year contract, the Serie A club said on Friday.
The 25-year-old player, whose full name is Jonathan Cicero
Moreira (pictured, left), spent only six months at Santos, a period punctuated by
injuries.
He played 14 games and missed both legs of the South
American Libertadores final in which Santos beat Penarol 2-1 on
aggregate.
Previously, he spent six seasons at Cruzeiro, the club where
he was raised, and was regarded as one of the top players in the
2009 Brazilian championship.
He played in the Brazil team which won the under-17 world
championship in 2003, beating Spain 1-0 in the final.
