The three 'top' teams in the Premier that want to leave Barcelona without Raphinha

The 2024-25 season of Raphinha is not going unnoticed by several of the world's best teams. And why not? The Porto Alegre native is leaving his mark with stellar numbers in his third season as a player of FC Barcelona: 17 goals (his best scoring season) and 10 assists in 24 matches, demonstrating a remarkable ability to adapt to the left-wing position, which is not his natural position.

Moreover, 'Rapha' has become a key player in Hansi Flick's tactical structure, being essential to the German coach's style of play and also standing out as a leader in the Culé dressing room.

With this relentless performance of Raphinha, it is not surprising that several teams are interested in his services, especially from the Premier League, where he previously shone as a 'top' right winger. His breakthrough came at Leeds United under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa, with two successful seasons (2020-21 and 2021-22) that left a very positive impression, ultimately leading him to make the leap to one of the European 'giants', FC Barcelona.

Several top teams from the Premier League closely following Raphinha

Now, recently there has emerged information suggesting that three of the top clubs in the Premier League are interested in bringing back Raphinha to British football. According to the 'TBR News' portal, up to three English teams have inquired with FC Barcelona about the situation of the talented winger: Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City.

With this in mind, it will be necessary to assess how this presumed interest from these three major clubs in Raphinha, a player who has undeniably changed his situation compared to last summer, when he was considered a transferable asset and actively sought after for a move. Currently, the 'Seleção' forward has become an indispensable piece for Hansi Flick.

Although it cannot be ruled out that Barcelona may consider offers for him, it is evident that these offers must be very attractive in economic terms. The Blaugrana team has no intention of putting him on the market at any price, and apparently, the player also has no intention of leaving a team where he has become a stellar asset and where he is under contract until 2027. Additionally, after his outstanding performances this season, he has further endeared himself to the Culé fans.
