Inter-Rafinha, Ausilio makes new offer before returning to Italy

After announcing Lisandro Lopez’ arrival, Inter are determined to improve Luciano Spalletti’s midfield. The nerazzurri’s sporting director Piero Ausilio travelled to Spain to negotiate directly with Barcelona for Rafinha, prior to his return to Italy, Ausilio increased the offer on the option to buy to €35 million with no bonuses- this proposal can be seen as an ultimatum to Barcelona since Inter isn’t expected to increase their bid.
