Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti has confirmed they're in talks with Barcelona for Rafinha.

Spalletti are keen to take Rafinha on-loan this month.

“We are trying to get Rafinha, but it's not easy," the Nerazzurri coach told InterDipendenza.net.

“Barcelona are tough to negotiate with. It's not a done deal, despite what some rumours might say."

Rafinha has not played since April 2017 due to injury problems, so a medical would be an essential step in any transfer.
