He made 31 Bundesliga appearances in 2018-19, scoring three times and providing six assists.

“Lazaro knows how to win,” Inter said in a statement announcing the transfer. “He plays mostly on the right flank but is versatile and used to playing in different roles.

“Like many greats of the game, he developed at a young age by playing on the streets, giving him a great base in terms of skill and tactical selflessness.”
