# Arsenal and Tottenham target makes decision over his future at Barcelona

Reported Arsenal and Tottenham target Rafinha has decided to seek a move away from Barcelona this summer as he looks to join Inter Milan permanently.

The North London duo had been [heavily linked](https://readarsenal.com/2018/06/11/spurs-to-rival-arsenal-for-brazilian-international/) with respective swoops for the Brazilian midfielder but according to [reports from Italy](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/rafinha-no-alla-premier-per-l-inter-la-situazione-63092), Inter is Rafinha’s preferred destination this summer.

Arsenal are already well-stocked with midfield options and with Lucas Torreira set to join from Sampdoria in the immediate future, Rafinha was mentioned as another potential target for the Gunners.

However, it seems he has decided on where he wants to be playing his football next term, and that is at San Siro with Inter.

Rafinha spent the second half of last season on loan at the Serie A club and it’s believed that he is keen to continue playing under Luciano Spalletti at Inter.

Arsenal are said to be chasing a deal for Steven N’Zonzi from Sevilla, too, indicating that their pursuit of midfield targets is not yet over for the summer transfer window.
