Insistently courted by Saudi Arabia, Raphinha does not see himself leaving Barcelona. At 27, the Brazilian is coming off a successful season with 10 goals and 13 assists in 37 games and would like to continue the adventure with the Blaugranas. Despite these good statistics, Barça, in search of liquidity, would not be at all opposed to the departure of the former Rennes player, quite the contrary.
Back from vacation, the Brazilian winger arrived alone in Orlando to join the Catalan group, currently on tour in the United States. Asked about his motivations, the Barcelona player said he wanted to continue his career in Catalonia, under the orders of Hansi Flick. While the arrival of Nico Williams in Barcelona is still not complete, a departure of Raphinha could make things easier for the Catalan club. The Al Nassr club even seemed ready to spend 100 million euros for the Brazilian, a sum that Barça clearly cannot afford to sit on.
