Transfer market expert Claudio Laudisa has reviewed the situation concerning Barcelona midfielder Rafinha and Ramires’ respective possible moves to Inter this window as well as the Nerazzurri’s mercato situation general.

“The fantasy reigns, so much so that one can really imagine a new era, one that leads to creative loans. Inter lead the way for both Rafinha and Ramires. It is now known that the Nerazzurri are managing this market session with particular caution because of the financial fair play restrictions. So sporting director Ausilio and technical coordinator Sabatini are not only working on the tight budget but also with financial fair play issues.”

Laudisa then concluded, “They have to adapt. For example when Inter paid off their financial obligations via loans with forced options to buy over a three year period. This summer Milan applied this strategy but UEFA struck this down. Now they move forward to new frontiers.”
