Former Inter forward Alvaro Recoba has agreed a contract with Greek side Panionios.

Recoba spent just over a decade at Inter, during which time he also represented Venezia and Torino on loan.

Despite his initial promise, El Chino failed to live up to expectations with the Nerazzurri and no attempt was made to offer him a new deal when his contract expired this summer.

The 32-year-old has agreed a two-year deal with Panionios - the side Napoli beat in the Intertoto Cup last month.

Having been one of Italy’s most richly rewarded players, Recoba has taken a significant pay cut and will receive a modest £800,000 per year.

A significant factor in Recoba’s decision was the chance to play alongside former Inter flop and close friend Lampros Choutos in Athens.
