Still injured, Neymar could be replaced by a Barça winger at Al-Hilal.
With its financial problems showing no signs of dissipating, FC Barcelona may be forced to make a major sale in 2024, as it did this summer when Ousmane Dembele left for Paris Saint-Germain .
If so, Raphinha could be one of the leading candidates to leave. The Brazil international has not been a regular starter this season, mainly due to injuries and the emergence of Lamine Yamal. Its market value being high, it could be sold to balance the books.
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Raphinha in recent weeks, and Sport claims today that Al Hilal also wants to recruit him. The Saudi club has still not digested Neymar Junior’s injury last month, and Raphinha would be tipped to replace his compatriot.
FC Barcelona have reportedly set a price of 70 million euros for any club wanting to buy Raphinha. Al Hilal should have no trouble matching that price, but the big question is whether the 26-year-old wants to move abroad.
