Can they convince Raphinha? Saudi side ready to offer €100m and go all out to sign Barcelona star

LaLiga

Barcelona

Sevilla

According to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20240531/1002256564/club-arabia-dispuesto-raphinha.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>, one of the most powerful teams in the Saudi Pro League is willing to go 'all out' to secure the signing of the Brazilian this summer. Raphinha has previously rejected an offer from the Middle East, and more recently the Premier League, and is understood to be happy in La Liga with Barcelona.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Despite only starting 17 games in the top flight of Spanish football this season, Raphinha netted six goals and recorded nine assists - which is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/raphinha-playing-like-60m-winger-no-better-time-barcelona-cash-in-sell-brazilian-summer/bltc7e322e9c7b37c88" target="_blank">more goal involvements </a>than he managed across 25 starts in the last campaign.The former Leeds man is now attracting interest from across the world and could be the subject of offers in the region of £85 million ($108m) this summer. Which is a notable increase on the £55m ($70m) Barcelona paid for the player.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

When questioned about the links to Saudi Arabia and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/raphinha-emphatic-statement-barcelona-future-reports-premier-league-saudi-arabia-interest/bltad8b182183c800d4#csb19737b6a14c9099" target="_blank">a possible exit from Barcelona</a> this summer, Raphinha bluntly replied: "I have a contract," while talking to El Chiringuito.

WHAT RAPHINHA SAID

While Barcelona would make a sizeable profit from a potential sale, Raphinha would also benefit financially. The offer from the Middle East would also reportedly include a wage increase for the player, which is double what he currently earns in Spain.

DID YOU KNOW?

For now, Raphinha will focus on the Copa America with Brazil throughout the summer. The 27-year-old is contracted at Barcelona until 2027 and may contemplate his future once the international tournament is over.
