Attila Filkor

Early career

Born in Budapest, Filkor started playing football with local side MTK, before joining Maltese club Pietà Hotspurs on 22 August 2006 on free transfer. Before he moved to Malta, Internazionale had contacted MTK for a possible transfer of Filkor in July 2006. As Pietà Hotspurs were ranked in category 3 of the FIFA training compensation distribution scheme, Hotspurs were supposed to pay MTK €70,000 (€30,000 times 2 seasons plus €10,000) and should Internazionale sign him directly, it was supposed to pay MTK €160,000 (average of category 1 and 2 times 2 seasons plus €10,000) as training compensation. MTK alleged that the transfer to Malta was the plan of Inter to save cost on training compensation regulated by FIFA.

Inter Milan

On 25 August 2006, he was transferred to Inter Milan for €90,000 (and ITC arrived on 31 August), where he played in their youth team. During the season, he made also his first-team debut in a 2006–07 Coppa Italia game against Messina, on 9 November 2006. However, failing to get much playing time, in January 2008 he was loaned out to Serie B side Grosseto in order to gain some first team experience. During his six months at Grosseto, Filkor won a total of 14 first team appearances, but only four of them as a starter. For the 2008–09 season, Inter loaned Filkor out again, this time to Sassuolo, a newly promoted Serie B team. He made a total of 15 league in one season and a half spent at the club, before leaving for Gallipoli,…

Filkor was called up for the Hungary national football team in 2007. He was on the bench against Canada, in a match between the two sides on 15 November 2006. He made his international début on the pitch on 7 February 2007 in the last 5 minutes of a 2–0 win against Latvia in a friendly. He has also captained the Hungarian U-19 side.
