Raphinha: What is the price to take him out of Barça? You will be surprised

Raphinha has undoubtedly earned a starting position at FC Barcelona as a left winger (without being one) due to how quickly he adapted to the playing style of the German coach, Hansi Flick. By the end of the 2023-24 season, the former Leeds player seemed one of the expendable ones, but now he has become a key piece in the attack of Barça, who would not let him go for less than 120 million euros.

It is no surprise, 'Rapha' is living his best moment as a blaugrana, recording 27 goals and 20 assists in 40 matches (3,441 minutes). At the same time, the Porto Alegre native does not give up on a ball, no matter if he has to fight in the opponent's area or his own, actions that have earned him the captaincy and that his teammates see him as a reference both on the field and in the locker room.

The summer market will be decisive for Barça's future

It is no secret that the azulgrana team is going through a complicated economic moment. However, the club's sports management is looking for alternatives to be able to enter the summer market with the idea of at least signing a right-back (Vanderson and Andrei Ratiu are the favorites) and a pure left winger (Nico Williams, Luis Díaz, and Rafael Leao are of interest) a probable sale would have to be made.

At Can Barça, they know that a high-value player like Raphinha could be a more than feasible option to receive a hefty sum. However, the 28-year-old left winger is under contract until 2027 and has a clause of 1,000 'kilos' that would mean any team wanting him would have to sit down to talk with the azulgrana management.

Manchester City, United, and Arab football interested

Raphinha knows that there are plenty of clubs interested in him, but he is also aware that he will not be as comfortable anywhere else as he is in the Catalan city. The '11' of FC Barcelona has been approached by Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arab football. The 'citizens' know that the bad moment they are experiencing this season will take its toll at the end of the season, so it is very likely that in the transfer market they will come out with the intention of making a 'bomb' signing, and they could make some move for 'Rapha'.

The 'Red Devils' are the other interested team, and according to the British portal 'CaughtOffside', the Mancunians would have a 70 'kilos' offer ready to sign the Brazilian. Meanwhile, 'GOL Digital' claims that the Old Trafford team is willing to sweeten their proposal, including in the negotiation, in addition to the 70 M€ clean, Marcus Rashford as part of the payment. Despite the large amount, FC Barcelona expects, in case the player leaves, to receive at least 120 M€, according to various media.

From the Middle East, they have also set their sights on Raphinha. Teams from the Saudi Pro League have inquired about the player, but it is not a destination that attracts '11' much. Although the market of that competition pays absurd amounts of money for any asset, the left winger has expressed his desire to succeed as a blaugrana.
