Samir Handanovic bids farewell to Inter as the Nerazzurri captain did not renew his deal. The Slovenian keeper held his position between the posts for Inter for more than a decade. He joined Inter in the summer of 2012 and took the baton from Julio Cesar. Handanovic proved to be a brilliant successor to the Brazilian keeper and will go down as a legend in the Nerazzurri books.
Handanovic did not participate enough last season with Onana being the first-choice keeper. Inzaghi did start the Nerazzurri captain in the earlier games to settle the former Ajax keeper. But apart from a couple of games in Coppa Italia, Handanovic remained on the bench.
The Slovenian keeper took the armband from Icardi in 2019 and was Inter’s captain since then. While writing the message for the Nerazzurri fans, Handanovic was at a loss for words. But he said that he is proud that his dream came true for playing for Inter for so many years.

The Slovenian keeper had a special message for the Nerazzurri fans. He said he loves how the fans urged the team to be positive and lifted the spirits. The departing captain will miss the atmosphere of San Siro, as the stadium and fans left their mark on him. He writes that the fans have taught him to show passion, courage, and sacrifice to feel certain things.
Handanovic also took a moment to thank his teammates, support staff, all the coaches the club directors, and the president. Handanovic wrote that he has enjoyed all the ups and downs with the club. He gave a special thank you to Curva Nord. Their constructive criticism and attitude helped him to become better.
The Nerazzurri are now targeting Trubin and Sommer, as Onana is also close to leaving the club for Manchester United.
