Barcelona’s updated Raphinha price-tag revealed

La Liga giants Barcelona have come to the decision to reduce their demands for transfer-linked attacker Raphinha.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Friday provided a fresh insight into the latest developments surrounding the former Leeds United star.

The subject of wide-man Raphinha’s future in Catalunya’s capital has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines over the course of recent weeks.

As much comes amid ongoing speculation that the Brazilian could be sacrificed, to raise the required funds to source a deal for his replacement, in Nico Williams.

Raphinha, for his part, has remained steadfast in his stance that he has absolutely no intention of going anywhere over the weeks ahead, eager as ever to prove himself in the colours of Barcelona.

But the powers that be at the Camp Nou, evidently, have other ideas…

This comes amid claims that Deco and co. have come to the decision to heavily reduce the price-tag on the head of the 27-year-old.

As per a report from Sport:

‘If an offer close to 50 million euros arrives, the Catalan club will open the door for the forward from Porto Alegre to leave.’

This is in stark contract to previous claims in the media, which pointed towards Barcelona as seeking out between €80-100 million for Raphinha.
