In an interview with Inter’s in-house television channel Inter TV, defender Andrea Ranocchia has shared his delight at signing a new contract with the club.

“In two years time, I will have spent 11 years with the Nerazzurri. I’ve spent a long time here and I’m really pleased because Inter is like family to me,” he began.

“The talks were fairly simple and it didn’t take long at all to reach an agreement. I’m pleased that my attachment to this club has been recognised, as well as my professionalism in training every day and during matches.

“I’m happy and I hope that we enjoy great success over the next two years, achieving things that this team has been missing out on for too long.

“As a defender, I went through some difficult years. We’re now doing much better and some top players have arrived – it’s all coming together.

“Obviously, the road is long as we’re still far from top spot, but this is something that we must achieve – hopefully in the shortest time possible.

“It’s only right that a club like Inter gets back to fighting for titles.

He quickly spoke on being used as a striker at some points during the season.

“When playing up top, I’ve always tried to give my all when called upon. Obviously, it’s not my natural position but I’ve given everything when in that situation. Sometimes it’s gone well and other times it hasn’t.

He concluded: “We must look to qualify for the Champions League as soon as possible, starting in Udine. We still have the last four matches left to play and we need to qualify as soon as possible so that we can start planning for next year.”
