Inter, Rafinha: "I'm feeling better and I'm here to stay. Messi told me I was joining a top club"

It was one of the most important deals of Serie A Juanuary transfer window and now Rafinha wants to show that he can be the right man to solve Inter's problems. "I'm feeling better, I'm happy with my level of fitness and I'm beginning to understand Italian football's mechanisms - the Brazilian said to La Gazzetta dello Sport - My knee is doing better and everything is going well. Milan derby? It's that kind of games that everyone knows, like Barcelona-Real Madrid or River Plate-Boca Juniors. I want to win the derby, then qualifying for the Champions League will come as a consequence. Icardi? Mauro is young but he already is a great skipper. My future? I want to stay here. I've not come here at Inter to recover from my injury and then go back to Barcelona. Before signing for Inter I spoke to Messi and he told me that I was joining a top club".
