Milan's "Inter" announced that they have leased out Barcelona's midfielder Rafinha until the end of the season. In the summer, the Italians will have the option to buy the 24-year-old footballer's contract.
Although earlier it was reported in the media that the full transfer fee for the Brazilian would be only 18 million euros, "Nerazzurri" have now revealed it to be more than double - 35 million plus an additional 3 million euros in bonuses.
After recovering from a long injury, Rafinha did not get much playing time this season with Barcelona, so the move to Italy will be a great opportunity for him to rehabilitate and prove his worth.
"I hope to play as many matches as possible and help the team achieve its goal, which is qualifying for the Champions League," the midfielder told "Inter TV."
Rafinha will wear the number 8 shirt.
