Internacional signs Victor Cuesta to 4-year contract

The captain from Argentina's squad at Rio 2016 is moving to SC Internacional.

On Thursday, Internacional announced the signing of Victor Cuesta from CA Independiente, as the Argentinian centre-back put pen to paper on a four-year contract. The transfer is valued at R$ 6.1 million, which will be paid in four installments, according to Globo Esporte's Tomas Hammes.

Cuesta arrived in Porto Alegre, Brazil on Friday and received a warm welcome from Inter's torcida.

Cuesta, a product of Arsenal Futbol Club, was called up to Argentina's squad for the Copa America Centenario and, despite only starting one game, scored in La Albiceleste's 3-0 victory over Bolivia. He subsequently wore the captain's armband for the national team at Rio 2016, but couldn't lead his country out of the group stage.
