Suazo drama over..Player belongs to Inter..not Milan
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=441603&cc=5901ROME, June 26 (Reuters) - Inter Milan's pursuit of striker David Suazo finally came to an end on Tuesday when the Italian champions signed the Cagliari player on a four-year deal.
The completion of the 27-year-old's long-running transfer saga, which had become a source of tension between Inter and city rivals AC Milan, was announced in a statement on the club's website.
The statement did not say how much Inter had paid for the Honduran international.
Inter seemed to have secured Suazo's services two weeks ago when Cagliari president Massimo Cellino said he had reached a deal with the champions.
But Cellino, frustrated by what he said was Inter's inability to finalise the deal, pulled out of negotiations and offered the player to Milan.
Milan announced that Suazo would be playing for them next season, only to later withdraw their claim after recognising the player had already signed a contract with Inter.
Suazo scored 14 league goals last season, developing into one of the most dangerous strikers in Italy.
In 2005-06 he scored 22 Serie A goals for Cagliari, breaking the club record of 21 league goals in a season set by former Italy international Gigi Riva in 1970.
At the Italian Football Oscars earlier this year, he shared the award for best foreign player in Serie A with Milan's Brazilian playmaker Kaka.
