Just no, they should pay up or move on. Tired of us looking spineless in transfers.

Then no one else wants to pay as much as Inter and left unable to sell him.
Folk think it is some revelation that Barca should just ask for more money.

They had an agreement, that's literally what it means. With this mentality, no wonder every club thinks they can walk all over us...

If the 35m became mandatory for real, what's there to negotiate for Barca.

It isn't. It's probably an purchase option with gentlemans agreement between clubs to transfer Rafinha, if Inter reaches the CL.
Of course they will want to lowball us.

Just asking for more doesn't automatically get you more money, it often just gets you a player you can't get rid of. 35M would be fine, but i'd take 25-30 too. It's probably just a matter of time till he gets injured again sadly.
He did good at Inter so this is a good opportunity to sell, but the other clubs aren't dumb either and they know we don't need him and want to sell. The same problem we always have when we sell loaned players or subs. Of course we can just ask for 40-50M but nobody will pay that so what's the point? We don't try to keep other clubs away, we want the money.
Alternatively we can get him back and hope he stabilizes without injuries, wouldn't be completely against that but i don't think he wants to return and the injuries are too big of a problem.

40M in 2 installments instead of 35M immediately would be nice though.

It's not 35 immediatelly. It doesn't work like that. Almost every payment is in installments. Even the 35 million would pe paid in 4 to 5 installments which will cover the length of his contract. Us asking for more is not gonna magically make Inter buy him. I mean, really.

If Inter can't/doesn't want to pay offer Rafinha to EPL clubs who have money. I don't care if he wants to stay in Inter. We are poor at selling because we always listen to players wishes when we could sell them to clubs who offer more. I agree with respecting players wishes when we're talking about legends like Iniesta or Mascherano and while Rafinha is La Masia kid and I wish him the best he doesn't deserve the same treatment. Barça should look for their best (economical) interest and if Inter is only prepared to pay 20M while EPL club would pay 30M (and probably also offer him higher wages) then we should convince him to join that club instead of accepting the lower offer.

Agree with this.
No money = No sale.
Inter want another loan and might be in an even bigger financial rut next year. What happens if they cannot afford him again? Cannot let this continue. If they went back on their word then bring him back and sell him elsewhere if possible.
