The desire of Barcelona’s Rafinha Alcantara to move to Real Betis in Seville is perhaps higher than that of Barcelona to let go of their midfielder.

With just a few hours to go before the market closes in Spain, there is not yet an agreement for the transfer between the Catalans and Andalusians, for which the former would like it to be a definitive transfer or at least on loan with the obligation to redeem, while the second would at most offer a loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, the former Inter midfielder has even, according to Radio Marca Sevilla, secured a rented house just outside of Seville, paying a deposit of €4000. A deposit he would lose if the agreement does not arrive between the clubs.

Rafinha had a successful six-month loan spell with Inter last season but is determined to leave Barcelona in a bid to find first team football.
