Radu loaned back to Genoa

Inter have officially signed Ionut Radu but loaned the goalkeeper back to Genoa for the season.

Inter announced on their official website that they had exercised their €12m option to buy back Radu.

However, they added he had been sent back to Genoa on loan so he can continue his development.

The 22-year-old played 34 of the Grifone’s 38 Serie A games last term, keeping seven clean sheets as they stayed up by the skin of their teeth.

He also impressed for Romania during their run to the European Under-21 Championship semi-finals.
