Dalbert’s performances have attracted a lot of attention from around Europe, including from both Inter and Liverpool. In a statement released by the player begging for Nice to let him leave, the 23-year-old has explained that Inter’s offer was the most attractive.
“Inter made a proposal that I find to be irresistible and I think over the next few days we can have a happy outcome for everyone.”
Dalbert went on to explain his desire to leave France, claiming that he yearns for a new challenge.
“I have been very happy in France and will be eternally grateful to Nice and its fans, who gave me the possibility of emerging in an even bigger project.
“However, I am counting on the understanding of the directors to accept my desire to seek new heights and challenge for a chance at playing for my country, which is the dream of every player.
“It was difficult to decide, but I am certain when I say that my desire is to seek new projects.”
While Dalbert seems to be heading off to Serie A, Liverpool appear to have already found a new left back target and ?are closing in on an £8m move for Hull City’s Andrew Robertson.
