Sale or ownership? Barça is debating what to do with the revalued Raphinha

If there is a name that generates opinions crossed in the City Condal, that is the one of Raphinha. The exjugador of the Leeds United arrived to the FC Barcelona in the market of summer of the campaign 2022-23 and since has had an adventure like culé full of altibajos. It has had exultant performances, but also others truly questionable, to the point that the club seems to have considered seriously put it on sale.

Precisely, that seems to have been one of the main ideas of this course 2023-24. A priori, with the course of Ousmane Dembélé to Paris Saint-Germain, thought that the native of Carry Cheerful could occupy the place of right extreme immovable headline, finally showing the jump of quality that always expected of him. However, his paper saw opacado by the grandísima irruption of Lamine Yamal, the one who this course seems to have erigido like master and gentleman of the right-handed extreme, by what the Brazilian saw again scarce his options to see minutes in this demarcation.

Under this stage, the 'ghost' of the sale of Raphinha went back to appear with overwhelming strength, considering several appearances: his value of market, since it keeps on being one of the most sought-after players of the picture and his sale could report remarkable economic profits, the beaux of level that has and the presence of a stellar right extreme that probably have won him the place no only for the present, but also for the future. Then, why keep to a player with this poster of name 'top' if only it goes to have some minutes of action, when it could do a positive movement for all the parts?

The 'subidón' of Raphinha did him win again a place in the XI headline of Xavi

Nevertheless, the exjugador of the Stade Rennes seemed not thinking the same, and with a spirit notably resiliente, resisted the 'storm' and, to base of work, attained to go back to go in in the plans of Xavi Hernández. However, it did not do it like right extreme, but rather like a species of mediapunta by the left, a positional change that has come him very well to both parts.

The FC Barcelona has resolved an evident problem in the left side and, to his time, the Brazilian has attained colarse again in the eleven headline and of a truly stood out way: it has converted four annotations (three in the series of chambers in the UEFA Champions League against the PSG and one against the UD The Palms in LaLiga) and has given two assistances (one in the series of eighth in front of the Naples in Champions and another against the Real Madrid in LaLiga) in the six parties that has played in this position.

The season of the Brazilian generates a big debate in the City Condal

With the impressive closing of period that is having Raphinha in his new position in the field, adding a total of nine targets and 11 passes to goal in 33 commitments with the Barcelona T-shirt. In this sense, the extreme is very near to equalise his registers of the previous course (10 so many and 12 assistances) in fewer parties (50 in the season 2022-23). In front of this, does not surprise at all that they can have he for the next campaign, especially considering that has agreement with the club until 2027.

However, also it is true that his stellar level could move it away of the FC Barcelona. To measure that turns into an active more attractive to conserve, also goes back an active more vendible. His value of market, at present of 50 M€ as 'Transfermarkt', could shoot with his big performance. Equally, the Barça could be demanding much more by a player whereby would not accept inferior offers to the 80 M€. These proposals could arrive from the Premier League, where Raphinha enjoys of a big prestige because of his stage in the Leeds, or from Saudi Arabia, where his name luce still quite attractive.
