Loan spells
The 24-year-old scored three goals in 15 league games while on loan from the Serie C1 club last term, as well making three substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League. Jiménez, who has been capped 20 times by Chile, joined Ternana in 2002 and has previously spent time on loan at Inter's Serie A rivals ACF Fiorentina and S.S. Lazio. He is Josè Mourinho's second signing following Mancini's arrival from AS Roma on Tuesday.
