Barcelona have outlined Raphinha as one of the stars they are willing to sacrifice this summer, as they pursue a new big-name signing up front. They have received an offer from the Brazilian too.
Late on Saturday night it was revealed that Barcelona had received an offer for Raphinha totalling €65m from Saudi Arabia. Now Sport are reporting that it comes courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, who want to unite him with Sadio Mane up front too. Their information is that Al-Nassr would be willing to go as high as €100m for the 27-year-old.
All the same, any offers continue to be redundant until Raphinha decides he is open to a move, and he is yet to hire an agent. He has been linked with Aston Villa and Arsenal in the Premier League, but without much substance to those links so far, although that might be a more appealing route out for him. There have been numerous reports of offers from the Middle East, and Barcelona are willing to part with him.
