The English club knows that the winger wants to leave yes or yes and begins to adjust the amount of the transfer
Barça still sees it as excessive and trusts in a new tight to continue going down
Raphinha continues to be one of Barça’s great objectives to reinforce the new sports project. The Brazilian has the sporting OK and remains the first option to incorporate a winger who replaces the role of Ousmane Dembélé, but his high price had slowed down the negotiations for his departure. Barça was willing to pay the 25 million euros of its exit clause in the event of relegation from Leeds, but now its appraisal is through the roof and there is no intention of paying a premium. The English club, squeezed by the footballer, would already accept an offer of 50 million euros that can still be revised downwards.
The Brazilian winger has made it clear to his club that he wants to leave this summer and is willing to make a public request if that favors the operation. And his clear preference is to leave the Premier and play for Barça. Raphinha is represented by Deco, who advises Barça sportingly, and they are working to try to get the footballer to go to the Camp Nou. The current 50 million euros are a lot but Raphinha could give up a percentage that he has recognized in terms of sales. There are formulas that are still being studied.
In England, Liverpool and Arsenal have asked about the footballer but they have not gone further when they learned of Raphinha’s predisposition to play for Barça. If the Blaugrana club remains as the only candidate, signing him would be easier. It is true that Barça has Di María as an affordable alternative, but Xavi wants Raphinha, considering him a fresh, fast and physically strong player, who can be a differential for the team.
