Inter Away "Dragon" Jersey 2010/11 – Cristian Chivu – N.26 – Player Issued Long Sleeves – Nike – Post-Treble Serie A

Cristian Chivu's 2010/11 Inter Away "Dragon" Player Issued Jersey

A highly valuable collector's item for Nerazzurri fans: the famous Inter Away "Dragon" jersey from the 2010/2011 season, in a long-sleeved Player Issued version assigned to Cristian Chivu, the Romanian defender who was a key player in the legendary 2009/2010 Treble. Made by Nike in Sri Lanka with professional Dri-FIT technology — a supply exclusively reserved for the Nerazzurri squad and impossible to find on the retail market — it features a modern reinterpretation of the white design with the characteristic stylized tribal biscione (serpent) on the sleeves, a direct homage to the jersey worn in the 1964/1965 season, the last European Cup victory before the Treble. The Inter badge with the golden star, the embroidered tricolor Scudetto, and the Coppa Italia rosette bear witness to the previous season's triumphs. Pirelli central sponsor, Serie A TIM patch on the right sleeve, internal Italian 100% polyester label. Back personalized "CHIVU" above the number 26. Size XL, Excellent condition.

The Player: Cristian Chivu

Cristian Chivu (Reșița, October 26, 1980) is one of the most complete and talented Romanian defenders of his generation, a Nerazzurri legend and now head coach of Inter's first team. He grew up at CSM Reșița and Universitatea Craiova, bursting onto the scene in the Netherlands at Ajax where he won the 2003/04 Eredivisie, before moving to Roma in Italy. In 2007, he was bought by Inter for 16 million euros, wearing the number 26 for seven seasons, until 2014. His track record with the Nerazzurri is extraordinary: the historic 2009/2010 Treble under José Mourinho with the Scudetto, Coppa Italia, and UEFA Champions League, as well as two more Scudetti, two Coppa Italia titles, three Italian Supercups, and the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup. Captain of the Romanian National team for years, he earned 75 caps. After coaching the Nerazzurri youth teams and Parma, in the summer of 2025 he was called to lead Inter's first team, taking over from Simone Inzaghi. A continuously evolving career inextricably linked to the Nerazzurri world.

What is a Player Issued Jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared for a squad player, made with materials, cut, and finishes identical to those of official match jerseys. It differs significantly from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional Nike Dri-FIT fabric, dedicated internal labels in Italian, a different country of manufacture from the retail version (Sri Lanka instead of Indonesia or Vietnam), an anatomical match cut, and exclusive technical details never included in store versions intended for the public. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of extremely high value, particularly sought after for players of historical importance and linked to iconic seasons like Inter's post-Treble one. A unique and unrepeatable relic.
