Inter Milan have reportedly failed in their attempts to sign Barcelona midfielder Rafinha.

Earlier this month, it was claimed that Rafinha was due to undergo a medical at San Siro ahead of a transfer during the January transfer window.

However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have decided to reject Inter's offer of £22.2m, instead requesting another £13m in order to agree to a deal.

Rafinha is yet to make a first-team appearance this season due to injury, but the 24-year-old is nearing a return to action and should play a part at Camp Nou during the second half of the campaign, providing that he stays at the club.

The Brazilian international still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract.
