After waning interest in Van der Wiel, and Fabio Coentraos (completely misguided) statement about only leaving Benfica for Real Madrid, it appears that Bayern has found a solution for their back line in Genoa right-back Rafinha.
The Brazilian (25) played for Schalke 04 for five years before transferring to Genoa in August 2010 for a fee of 9m. Yesterday, Genoa released the player, who has said he would like to return to the Bundesliga. The president of Genoa, Preziosi, confirmed Rafinha's wishes yesterday, and said, "I think we'll reach an agreement with a big Bundesliga outfit."
The transfer fee will be around 5-7m, and could be announced as soon as next week. His transfer, of course, will see Lahm return to the left-flank.
So transfers so far: Petersen, Rafinha, Neuer....who else can we expect to see in the rot und weiss next season?
