The offer with which PSG would try to leave Barcelona without one of its great stars

If there is a player who has made a 180-degree turn in his reality at FC Barcelona, it is Raphinha. The Porto Alegre native went from being considered dispensable at the end of the 2023/24 season, with the club seeking a buyer in the summer transfer market, to becoming a crucial element for Barcelona's offensive aspirations in the 2024/25 campaign.

This change was thanks to the work of Hansi Flick, who, despite not playing him in his usual position of right winger, currently occupied by Lamine Yamal, managed to enhance his game to the next level. Raphinha has shown versatility by performing both as an attacking midfielder with freedom of movement and as a left winger, positions in which the '11' has excelled.

It is not surprising that Raphinha, a player who was already quite attractive to various clubs in the international sports arena, has acquired a new status as a star player. As a result, several teams are interested in making an effort to sign him. However, it is likely that the Barcelona team, seeing the improvement in the performance of the Brazilian forward, may not want to sell him, or at least may not be willing to let him go for a precisely affordable amount.

Paris Saint-Germain is Interested in Signing Raphinha

In this regard, there seems to be a new suitor who wishes to make a strong offer for Raphinha. As reported by 'El Nacional.cat', Paris Saint-Germain, a club that has shown interest in other Barcelona players like Lamine Yamal, Pablo Gavi, Pau Cubarsá, Frenkie de Jong, among others, is reportedly considering making a significant economic proposal for the former Leeds United player, backed by the club president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

According to the mentioned source, the Parisian team is prepared to present a substantial offer for Raphinha, which would include a very attractive salary proposal for 'Rapha' and an offer of €80 million to Barcelona. It is worth noting that this amount is approximately what Barcelona was expecting to receive for the possible sale of the forward during the summer transfer window of 2024/25.

Is Barcelona Willing to Sell Raphinha?

However, it will be interesting to see if FC Barcelona is in a position to accept this sum or even considers demanding a higher amount, given that Raphinha's performance has notably improved and he himself recently stated to be in the best moment of his sports career. Also, he has become practically indispensable to Hansi Flick's style of play, with the possibility that Barcelona may decide to declare the winger as untouchable.

This scenario would also be supported by the desire of a Raphinha who undoubtedly wants to continue wearing the blue and garnet shirt, with a contract until 2027. If he maintains this level of performance, there is likely no doubt that he will fulfill it completely.
