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.

Yes, and in the case Inter won't pay the pre-agreed price he should be way more mad at Inter for not really wanting him. They have splashed all over the media how great they think he is, but when it comes to business, they don't honour past agreements and try to lowball. Then you don't deserve him, tbh, and he should be able to see that.

huh ? i thought that 35 mil was mandatory ?

In Barca's papers it was mandatory.
In Italian press, it wasn't.

It really looks as if Catalan press is lately lying to make Barto and the board good guys.
This deal always sounded way too good to be true.

I doubt that we will ever get more than 15m for Rafinha.

Just bring him back. He’s a better option to have than Gomes and Vidal combined.

We loaned him to a cheapy limited inter mailand and thought they would buy him for 35m? Oh common this was a bad move from the beginning. Feel sad for rafiniha as he was one of the reasons why they got their cl spot but thats how it is....

Incredibly predictable from Inter. These Milan clubs always pull the curtain on us.

Hopefully some other teams gained interest for him while scouting him at Inter and we can still sell him.

Well i mean we couldn't expect Inter to buy him if there wasn't a contract that forces them to do it. Hopefully find another solution now that's good for Rafa and for us. 30M would be great.
