Rafinha pushed for a loan move to Inter with option to buy because “he simply wants to play,” said the Barcelona midfielder’s father Mazinho.
The deal is done with an option to buy for €35m and Rafinha is expected in Milan either today or tomorrow, where he’ll be in the stands for the Sunday night Serie A match against Roma at San Siro.
“Rafinha wants to join Inter because he simply wants to play,” Mazinho told Globo Esporte.
“It’s very difficult to get into the side in Barcelona, as there are so many players. He also had the bad luck of getting that knee injury over the last two years.
“He just wants to play, feel happy and do what he loves in an excellent club like Inter.”
There is an option to buy, although there are mixed reports as to whether it can be obligatory if Inter qualify for the Champions League.
“Rafinha has a contract with Barcelona until 2020. We are drawing up a pre-contract with Inter until 2021,” added Mazinho, himself a former Serie A player.
