Raphinha back in the Premier League?
Barcelona striker Raphinha is reportedly close to a return to the English league.

English club Arsenal are once again interested in Raphinha, the winger that FC Barcelona no longer wants.

The Catalan club are looking to reduce their wage bill and that is why they have put the former Rennes player on the transfer list. According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal are once again in contact with the Blaugrana for Raphinha. The Gunners are said to be the big favourites to sign him.

Barça does not retain Raphinha

Arsenal sporting director Edu is reportedly willing to offer €50m to bring Raphinha back to England.

The former Leeds United player spent two years at Barcelona, ​​but never managed to convince. However, his numerical record is not so bad with 20 goals and 23 assists in all competitions.
