The right back will join the Nerazzurri on a one-year loan from Atletico Madrid. Inter will pay €6.5 million for the loan with a €17 million option to purchase next summer.
Vrsaljko played two seasons with Atletico. Prior to moving to Spain, he had stints with Sassuolo and Genoa.
During his time with Atletico, Vrsaljko had just 54 appearances in two seasons, but did manage to garner a Europa League title with Los Colchoneros.
His time to shine definitely came during the 2018 World Cup where he helped lead Croatia to the finals where they were defeated by France. During that time, he had significant playing time with fellow Nerazzurri Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic.
Vrsaljko becomes the seventh signing for Inter during the summer transfer window. They have already picked up Lautaro Martinez, Stefan De Vrij, Kwadwo Asamoah, Radja Nainggolan, Matteo Politano and Federico Dimarco (from FC Sion).
