Brazilian international Raphinha may be on his way out of FC Barcelona in the coming months, according to reports from the Spanish media.
The former Stade Rennais winger has been excelling under the guidance of new Barça manager Hansi Flick this season, delivering outstanding performances and becoming a key player for the club. As the team’s top attacker, Raphinha has even captained Barcelona in the absence of Frenkie de Jong and Marc-André ter Stegen, highlighting Flick’s trust in his leadership and professionalism.
Raphinha’s impressive form has attracted attention from top European clubs, with Arsenal reportedly showing significant interest. The Gunners, aiming to bolster their attack, have made Raphinha a top target, with manager Mikel Arteta said to be a big fan of the Brazilian. Arteta is reportedly pushing the club to make every effort to secure Raphinha’s signature.
Reports indicate that Arsenal is willing to offer up to €75 million to sign Raphinha. However, Barcelona, recognizing his increasing value, has set an asking price of at least €83 million. The next move is now with Arsenal, and it remains uncertain whether they will agree to meet Barcelona’s asking price.
If the transfer goes through, it could be one of the most thrilling signings of the upcoming window, with Raphinha set to make a significant impact for any club willing to meet the asking fee.
