Lionel Messi: I Will Follow Rafinha Closely At Inter”

Multi-time world footballer of the year Lionel Messi took to Instagram to send his best wishes to three of his now former Barcelona teammates who have moved on from the club during this transfer window, including Inter’s latest recruit Rafinha.

“Rafinha, I wish you many successes in Italy, I will follow you closely,” the Argentine said toward the 24-year-old Brazilian, who joined Inter on loan with a redemption option at the start of this week.

Arda mucha suerte en esta nueva etapa en tu país, estoy seguro que te irá genial. Rafinha, te deseo muchos éxitos en Italia, te seguiremos de cerca. Y a vos, Masche, después de tantos partidos y momentos juntos, sobran las palabras. Sabés que te voy a extrañar, va a ser raro llegar al vestuario y no verte sentado al lado mío. Pero bueno nos estamos viendo pronto con la selección. Un abrazo grande para los tres les deseo todo lo mejor.
