FC Barcelona would have accepted the departure this winter of one of the attackers of its workforce.
While it is not particularly well stocked in the sector in question, FC Barcelona is ready to sell its Brazilian striker Raphinha during the month of January. This is what the daily Sport reports.
Xavi gave the green light
The Catalan club have received offers from Newcastle and Saudi Pro League clubs for the Aurivede international. And he is open to discussions regarding a possible transfer.
Barça leaders believe that Raphinha did not meet expectations. This season, for example, he has only scored 3 goals in 18 matches played. And it wasn’t much better during the previous campaign. Xavi has lost patience with the former Stade Rennais member.
Barcelona hoping for a dry transfer
For the moment, it is Newcastle who are most interested in the former Leeds player. The Magpies also have the financial means necessary to conclude a permanent transfer. And that’s what Barça is banking on.
