Lokomotiv Moscow have signed Inter Milan midfielder Joao Mario.

He moves to Lokomotiv on a season-long loan with an 18m option to buy, and he was presented by his new club on Tuesday evening.

I'm very happy to join Lokomotiv," remarked the midfielder.

I know this is a great club. They've signed many famous and experienced players.

I asked [Manuel] Fernandes and Eder about Lokomotiv when we played for the Portuguese national team.

I consulted Eder before the transfer. He told me Lokomotiv were a good team with a wonderful atmosphere.

Their participation in the Champions League is also an important factor."
