Mario, who scored six goals in 33 league appearances for Sporting last season, played a key role in helping Portugal win Euro 2016.

"We're delighted to have Joao Mario at Inter. He's a top player and we'd been tracking him for a long time. He'll further reinforce what is already a very strong squad," the Italian club's president Erick Thohir said.
