Fabio Coentrao has turned down a move to Inter, and instead joins Monaco in Ligue 1.
The Nerazzurri were targeting the left-back but a series of moves scuppered any chance of signing the Portuguese international.
Paris Saint-Germain’s Lucas Digne has joined Roma, as Coach Laurent Blanc confirms Layvin Kurzawa will move to Parc Des Princes.
“It was a complicated deal,” Blanc told L’Equipe, confirming the capture of the Monaco man.
“It was a difficult transfer, because Monaco are one of Paris Saint-Germain’s main rivals in the title race. I thank all the directors of the club who have made this transfer possible.
“He’s a very good player, who has joined us at a young age and he has the potential to be very good for PSG.”
That deal means the principality side are in need of a left-back, and Coentrao officially arrives on loan from Real Madrid.
The defender is said to have told Inter of his decision this afternoon, explaining he wants to play in the Europa League, with the Nerazzurri out of Europe altogether this season.
