After the arrival of Philippe Coutinho and Yerri Mina, La Liga leaders FC Barcelona are looking to balance the books and according to Catalan tabloid Sport, five players could depart from the Blaugrana which could potentially see them earning € 66 million.
Rafinha Alcantara is one of the probable departures and Inter are currently working on a deal to bring him in. As understood by the Spanish paper, the Nerazzurri are offering a loan deal with an obligation to buy. The final figure of the deal is yet to be decided. English Premier Club Arsenal have also shown interest but the player currently prefers Inter.
In spite of the player’s desire to join Inter, there is yet to be an agreement between the two clubs. Barcelona has set his price at €25 million and the Nerazzurri are currently holding out for €20 million. The difference in the price has proved to be a obstacle for the deal. Meanwhile according to the report another Spanish club, Celta Vigo were also interested for the player but they ended their pursuit after hearing Barcelona’s asking price.
