Inter boss hints at purge to solidify club's 'foundation'

Inter Milan owner and president Erick Thohir hailed the capture of Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic but hinted on Thursday the club's rebuilding could continue with a summer purge of ageing stock.

On Wednesday, Vidic signed a three-year deal through June 2017 with the ailing Serie A giant, with the Serbian international defender set to earn $3.8 million plus bonuses annually, according to Italian media reports.

Although Vidic will join Inter for the start of next season, its rebuilding began with the acquisition of Brazilian midfielder Hernanes from Lazio in January.
