Despite still significant economic difficulties, Barça has not planned to be unemployed this summer during the transfer market. Among the players potentially on the departure: Raphinha.
FC Barcelona resumed their colors last season on the national scene by winning La Liga under the nose and beard of Real Madrid. The Catalan club will want to look good again in the next exercise. It will go through a good transfer window. Barça is struggling to relieve its payroll and has long believed possible a return of Leo Messi. Still, the Blaugrana do not want to relax their efforts to straighten out their finances. Thus, after Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba or even Sergio Busquets, it is Raphinha who could look elsewhere, only a year after his arrival. The Brazilian could even be at the heart of an XXL exchange with … Newcastle.

Indeed, Gerard Romero, Barça specialist, says in recent hours that the Magpies have offered 30 million euros plus Bruno Guimarães to FC Barcelona to recover Raphinha. Surprising information knowing that Newcastle would like to extend the former player of Olympique Lyonnais, still under contract until 2026. But everything goes fast in football and nothing is to be put aside. Bruno Guimaraes come out of a magnificent season with the Magpies and will have contributed to the qualification of the English club in the Champions League. Competition he will play, whether in Newcastle or Barcelona. Barça has not yet given its answer according to the Catalan press but this file will be followed with attention by the fans of the two formations. In any case, the former Ligue 1 players continue to make their mark. In Lyon and at Stade Rennais, there is reason to be proud of the course accomplished.
