The decisive factor was the player's will who has chosen Inter as the place where he wants to kickstart his career after having been sidelined due to a knee injury for almost a year. FC Barcelona wanted to send the player out on a dry loan however Inter insisted on retaining an option to make the deal permanent which resultet in hard negotiations regarding the price.
That has now been agreed and is set at an initial €35 million with another €3 million in easily attained add-ons bringing the total up to €38 million. That is if Inter wish to exercise that option, if not the player will return to the Catalan giants at the end of the season.
First Lisandro Lopez now Rafinha. Inter's dealings on the transfer market with a limited budget is really heating up as Spalletti now has two players to add to his depleted squad.
