Barça midfielder Rafinha waiting for news on Inter Milan transfer
Rafinha is on vacaction waiting for news on his future
Barcelona midfielder Rafinha, who has been on loan at Inter Milan for the last six months, is on holiday in Bangkok waiting for news on his future.
Rafinha enjoyed his time in Italy and hopes to be able to continue at Inter, but the club don't seem ready to fulfill the agreement they made with Barça in January.
A meeting is planned for next week for all three parties to discuss the player's future. In the meeting will be Mazinho, Rafinha's father and agent, and representatives from Inter and Barça.
On the table is 35 million euros, which Inter committed to paying in the event they qualified for the Champions League -- which they did.
However, 'Tuttosport' report that Inter will try to include the money for Rafinha in next season's books to help them comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.
For that to happen, though, they need to wait for July and hope that in the meantime Barça and Rafinha ignore any offers that arrive from the Premier League -- Arsenal and West Ham have asked about him.
From then, Inter will try to negotiate a new loan deal with an option to buy, albeit inferior to the 35 million euros in the current deal.
