As learned by Calciomercato.com, The Brazilian midfielder wants to remain at the San Siro. His will could prove to be fundamental in Inter's pursuit to sign him on a permanent basis, as the transfer fee remains a big issue in the negotiations with Barcelona. 

 

Barcelona's head coach, Valverde, doesn't consider Rafinha a big part of his future plans. However, the sporting director, Robert Fernandez, is a great admirer of the midfielder. Therefore, Barcelona's stance on the buy-out clause remains at around €35m plus €3m in bonuses, not willing to make any discounts. 

 

Inter are currently studying the situation in order to come up with a transfer strategy. However, Fernandez was also the man that blocked the Rafinha deal in January for two weeks, in order to get the €3m in bonuses, which suggests that it certainly won't be easy negotiations for Inter.
