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.
