Romania defender Cristian Chivu has joined Italian champions Inter Milan from AS Roma after four seasons with the Giallorossi, the player announced on Friday

"I am going to Inter. It is a life choice," Chivu told a news conference at Roma's training ground.

"I would like to be remembered as a good lad. I have spent four marvelous years here, full of satisfaction."

The Rome-based club said in a statement that the transfer is worth $21.8million in addition to Inter defender Marco Andreolli moving the other way in a shared ownership deal.

Chivu was on the verge of joining Real Madrid, but the deal fell through after the Spanish champions rejected the Romanian's salary demands.
