Schalke 04 fullback Rafinha admits transfer speculation over the summer drove him crazy.

Rafinha was linked with Barcelona and AC Milan, but didn't get his move and is now again being linked with the Rossoneri.

"There was a lot of people, in August, talking about my future and advised me on what to do," he said. "It was a situation that I was not prepared for, it made me crazy.

"At least 50 people have called me, but nobody told me the truth. My head was full of promises, I went mad with anxiety. These people showed me they lied, I cried too."
