Raphinha, against a rock and a hard place at FC Barcelona

The professional future of Raphinha seems increasingly oriented to an exit of the FC Barcelona this summer. Although the one of Carry Cheerful is convinced that it will fulfil his third season like culé, as it aseveró in the second anniversary of his presentation with the combined Catalan, the reality suggests that they are giving important conditions that could convert to the '11' in a good candidate for one of the millionaire sales that the Barcelonan club is considering to make.

The sportive factors that would condition the continuity of Raphinha in the FC Barcelona

In this point, the continuity of the Brazilian in the Barça would be conditioned mainly by sportive factors. First, the exjugador of the Leeds has lost clearly his place in the eleven headline like right extreme because of the irruption of Lamine Yamal. Although the one of Rocafonda already had left a grata impression in his first season like Barcelona, his performance in the Eurocopa with Spain, where was one of the key players in the consecration of 'The Red' like champion of the tournament, adding an annotation and four assistances, and being appointed Better Young Player of the contest, seems to have dissipated any doubt on the titularity in this demarcation.

Now, in the course 2023/24, Raphinha finished finding a place like left extreme of the cast of the City Condal, showing that it also could be a valuable option for this plot of the terrain of game. Nevertheless, if it concretises the incorporation of Nico Williams in this market of summer, is possible that the canterano of the Avaí FC lose his place in the alignment culé.

In this context, seems little likely that the extreme pamplonés, the one who had a stood out performance in the Eurocopa with Spain and would suppose an important investment for the Barcelona, was considered simply like a revulsivo. To his time, in the left side also is the option of Ansu Fati, the one who, if it leaves good feelings during the pre-season and forms to win a contingent in the sportive planning of Hansi Flick, would be another alternative to compete in this position.

The '11' still has a halo of hope to convince to Hansi Flick

Then, to Raphinha, whose numbers back his cost with 20 targets and 25 assistances in 80 parties like player of the FC Barcelona, only remains him expect that his sportive skills and his dedication to the game, being a tireless fighter and resiliente, attain to convince to the German trainer that it is an active valuable for the staff. With this, perhaps the one of Baden-Wurtemberg find the form to incorporate it in his plan of game or, why no, the '11' attain to win again a place in the eleven headline.

However, if it does not attain to do it, innegablemente will turn into an active appeal for the sale, considering his high value of market of 50 M€ as 'Transfermarkt', although the club could ask much more by him. Likewise, Raphinha has several beaux, some of them in the Premier League and another in Saudi Arabia, those who could face this traspaso millionaire that the Barça thinks that can achieve by the talentoso player of the 'Canarinha'.
