Rafinha is understood to be on the verge of completing his switch from Barcelona to Inter Gazzetta dello Sport detail. The teams have agreed upon a loan deal but there are still a few details needing sorted out but in principal it is all done.

Inter, who had worries about the 24-year-old’s fitness after eight months on the sidelines, have received assurances about the player’s physical condition. The Brazilian has been back in training for around a month as he continues to build up his fitness levels. In fact, Barcelona labelled him fit to play on December 18 but understandably have taken time with Rafinha given the severity of his recent injury.

The Milan based newspaper add that the move has been conducted by Inter’s sporting director’s Piero Ausilio and Walter Sabatini who were working on the basis of delivering players ready to make a difference now as requested by manager Walter Sabatini.
