Inter face Rafinha competition

By Football Italia staff

Inter have seemingly lost Joao Cancelo to Juventus and face stiff competition for Rafinha from Arsenal and West Ham United.

The Nerazzurri took the two players on loan from Valencia and Barcelona respectively, with options to buy that they are not capable of meeting.

Multiple reports suggest Portugal international full-back Cancelo is close to Juventus for a total of €40m.

Rafinha has said he wants to remain at Inter after recovering from a lengthy injury nightmare, but Barcelona are refusing to renegotiate the €35m plus €3m bonuses option to buy.

According to FCInterNews.it, Arsenal and West Ham United have approached Barcelona to say they’re prepared to meet the asking price for the Brazilian midfielder.

Still only 25, Rafinha contributed two goals and three assists in 17 Serie A appearances since his January switch.
