Inter have officially purchased midfielder Yanis Massolin for a reported fee of €8m including add-ons, but he will remain on loan at Modena for the rest of the season.
The announcement was made on deadline day in the January transfer window, although the agreement had been reached some days ago.
The 23-year-old creative midfielder can also play out wide on the right of attack.
It is a big investment for the Nerazzurri, who see him as the future of their midfield with players like Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan getting older.
Massolin has French and Martinique citizenship, with experiences already in Switzerland, France and Belgium before Modena bought him for €700,000 in July 2025.
He made 15 competitive appearances this season between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
It is reported the formal fee for Inter is €3.5m, but with various performance-related bonuses it can rise to €8m.
His contract runs to June 2030.
