Acuerdo con el PSG para el traspaso de @Rafinha— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona_es) October 5, 2020
Rafinha, 27, had been on a season long loan deal at Celta from the Camp Nou – where he made 90 first-team appearances – and he spent the second half of the 2017/18 campaign on loan at Inter, but has now returned.
Rafinha played 30 games for the Galician club last season – 29 in La Liga and one in the Copa del Rey – scoring four goals and providing one assist.
The brother of Liverpool midfielder and Spain international Thiago, Rafinha has now departed the Blaugrana on a permanent basis as the club seeks to ease their wage bill and outgoings for the 2020/21 campaign.
