Inter loans Mancini to AC Milan
Inter Milan loaned Brazilian midfielder Amantino Mancini to rival
AC Milan on the final day of the transfer window.
Milan said on its Web site Monday that the deal gives it the
option to acquire Mancini's full rights at the end of the season.
After moving from AS Roma in 2008, Mancini played in only
seven games with Inter this season between Serie A and the
Champions League.
Inter then acquired Mariga Wanyama from Parma, signing the
Kenyan midfielder to a contract through June 2014.
Genoa loaned defender Giuseppe Biava to Lazio, giving the
Roman club the right to acquire his full rights at the end of the
season.
In a goalkeeper swap, Rubinho joined Livorno and Francesco
Benussi went to Palermo.
Kaka's brother, defender Rodrigo Digao, was loaned by Milan
to Serie B side Crotone, the ANSA news agency reported.
The Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Fiorentina midfielder
Martin Jorgensen flew home to Denmark to rejoin Aarhus, the club he
left in 1997 to begin his career in Italy with Udinese.
On Sunday, Antonio Cassano announced that he had rejected a
loan offer from Fiorentina and will remain at Sampdoria - prompting
the Tuscan club to sign Brazilian forward Keirrison de Souza
Carneiro, who had been on loan with Benfica from Barcelona.
The biggest move of the transfer period turned out to be one
of the first: Luca Toni's loan from Bayern Munich to AS Roma, which
was first announced in late December. Toni scored two goals in his
third game for Roma, but is now out for a month with a knee injury.
In a prearranged deal, David Beckham was again loaned to AC
Milan from the Los Angeles Galaxy.
