The FC Barcelona is fully aware that time is running out to finalize the strategic 'blows' that will allow them to optimally steer the necessary departure operation of the club. This has not yet claimed the first player whose sale could be classified as a millionaire, which seems vital for the culés this summer, both to register the new additions and to have the appropriate economic muscle to try to make some other signings.
At this point, one of the names that seems to have the best chances of being part of a negotiation for his departure is Raphinha. The Porto Alegre player, although he has proven to be a valuable and timely element for the Blaugrana's attack, becomes an appealing asset to start listening to offers for him, something that the Barcelona team seems to be already doing.
The 'big' Premier League club that has shown interest in Raphinha
In that sense, as 'SPORT' suggests, apart from the apparently extravagant proposals that he may be receiving from Saudi Arabia, there is a top club globally that wants to join the 'race' for the incorporation of the '11': Manchester United. The 'Red Devils' would be looking for the talented right winger to strengthen a side where they could soon be saying goodbye to Antony and Jadon Sancho.
In this line of thought, the Manchester team would not mind reinforcing their squad with a name that already knows what it means to succeed in English football, but with the jersey of Leeds United. A star player with a lot of prestige for whom FC Barcelona does not expect to receive a transfer offer of less than 60 million euros.
Will the '11' want to embark on a new adventure in English football?
Based on this, it remains to be seen if, first of all, Manchester United can match the economic demands of the culé team. Then, beyond this, it will have to be considered whether Raphinha ends up agreeing to join the 'Red Devils', as it is clear that the Brazilian has no doubts about his desire to wear the Blaugrana jersey in this new 2024/25 season. A desire that does not seem to be the easiest to persuade, regardless of whether the context is not the most favorable for the forward.
