Naija SportsXtra gathered that the Inter Milan midfielder had been heavily linked with the switch and completed it officially on Monday afternoon.
The 22-year-old central midfielder had been co-owned by Parma until January 2012, when they sold their half to Inter for €3.5m.
Obi has now returned to the Stadio Tardini on a season-long loan.
There is no option to buy on a permanent basis.
He is already a senior Nigeria international with 12 caps.
