Rafinha joining Inter Milan

Barcelona midfielder Rafinha is joining Inter Milan this weekend.

Marca says the two clubs have come to an agreement for Rafinha to spend the rest of the 2017/18 season on loan in Milan.

Depending on how he performs for the Serie A side, a purchase option of 35 million euros, plus 3m euros more in add-ons, can be activated by the Nerazzurri.

If Inter do decide to buy the player, the permanent deal would be for three and a half years.

The player’s father Mazinho is believed to have played an important part in negotiations.
