Barcelona willing to accept €60m offer for forward

Ever since early on in his Barcelona spell, Raphinha has not enjoyed the easiest ride at the club, losing his place to Ousmane Dembele. Since, his place has always been questioned, and this summer again, he is being spoken about as a potential exit.

According to The Athletic, he had impressed Barcelona sufficiently to convince them that he deserved to stay this season, but ultimately, the economic situation takes precedence. His form this season and production earned him a spot in the squad, as they feel he can also provide competition for Lamine Yamal without it causing issues in the dressing room. That said, amid talk of offers from Saudi Arabia in the Catalan media, the same source says that Barcelona will accept an offer of €60m if it arrives.

His performances on the left were a pleasant surprise for Xavi Hernandez, but with Nico Williams their top target for the left side, and Lamine Yamal on the right, opportunities will be few and far between if they can pull off a deal for the Basque winger. Equally, they also have Ferran Torres who can rotate with Lamine Yamal, meaning a sale makes sense, even if it is slightly unjust for the Brazilian.
