Rafinha looks set to remain at Barcelona as a squad player this season after failure to agree a deal with Real Betis saw the Andalucian club strike a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for midfielder Giovani Lo Celso instead.
It was reported earlier this month that talks over a proposed Betis move for Rafinha had broken down and that it would only be resurrected in the event of an offer too good to turn down.
As the Spanish transfer deadline looms, it was theoretically still possible that a move could happen, but Mundo Deportivo has stated that Barcelona's refusal to accept a loan deal without a mandatory purchase option led Betis to quickly deal with PSG instead.
