A flop from Barça to Saudi Arabia?

Very irregular at Barça, Raphinha would have an open exit door in the Saudi championship.

Arriving in 2022 FC Barcelona, Raphinha was supposed to be one of the representatives of the new face of the Catalan club after his more than convincing stint at Leeds. But a year and a half after his arrival, his record is rather disappointing and his irregularity is lacking despite rather flattering statistics (13 goals and 18 assists in 63 matches).

Al-Hilal is interested

Still in financial difficulty, the Blaugranas could be tempted to part ways with the Brazilian international next summer since he represents one of the club’s highest market values ​​(€50M on Transfermarkt). Good news, they shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a buyer sinceAl-Hilal seems very interested, as indicated Sport this Saturday. If Raphinha should not move this winter, Barça would not be against the idea of ​​parting with him next summer. It remains to be seen whether the Saudi club will still be interested by then, especially since Neymar should return at the end of the season.
