Inter, Rafinha: "I am very well here, I hope to stay"

Rafinha joined Inter from Barcelona in January, and he has been a great addition to the nerazzurri. His future is uncertain, however, as he is only on loan and Inter have a 35 million euro purchase clause. He spoke to Globoesporte about his time at Inter and his current situation: "I know very well that it doesn't depend on me, but I am very well here and my desire is to remain. Obviously there is always nostalgia for Barcelona, but in Milan I have found a great environment and stupendous teammates. I am happy here. For someone who just joined a few months ago, I feel like I have been at Inter for years. My insertion was simple, I immediately felt at ease. My teammates? I get along very well in particular with the Brazilians, but I must say that I immediately got along with everyone. A special mention to Mauro Icardi, who I want to thank.I knew him from when I was 16 years old and he explained to me what it means to play for Inter. Inter has always trusted and believed in me, thanks to this club I discovered my joy to play football. I really hope that I can remain here."
