According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, a Saudi Arabian team have offered 65 million euros for the winger and that might not be the only proposal that arrives at Camp Nou. According to ‘Mirror’, Arsenal are willing to pay around 50 million euros for his services.
Raphinha has a contract with Barcelona until 2027. The player is happy at Camp Nou and his idea is to stay, although he would not rule out leaving if the club sign Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. Barcelona value the player highly, but they are aware of the good reputation he has and his sale could help the team to be able to afford signings.
Barcelona’s board have already received a firm offer for Raphinha. According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, a Saudi Arabian club have offered 65 million euros for the winger but they believe the player is worth much more.
And, according to the ‘Mirror’, Arsenal have made him a priority and are willing to pay around 50 million euros for his services. The Gunners would use the money left by Rowe, who will leave for Fulham, to try to convince Raphinha, who would also be offered the No.10 shirt.
Right now, the club have only received nine million euros for the sale of Chadi Riad to Crystal Palace and six million euros more for the departure of Marc Guiu to Chelsea.
Time is ticking, the transfer window is open and the winger does not rule out leaving if the reinforcements Barcelona so desperately want arrive. The summer will be a long one for the former Leeds player and for the Catalan giants by the looks of it.
