Inter and Cagliari transfer target Nicolas Gonzalez has officially joined German club VfB Stuttgart from Argentinos Juniors.

The Nerazzurri had tried to sign the 20-year-old striker, loaning him to Cagliari in order to gain Serie A experience.

However, Stuttgart came in with a better offer and were able to conclude the deal.

Argentinos Juniors announced the transfer was completed, pending a medical, for €8.5m.

This pays for 88 per cent of the contract and Argentinos Juniors will get 12 per cent of any future sale.
