Raphinha’s transfer saga continues to heat up as Arsenal prepare to pay €50 million for the winger, while a Saudi club plans to bid €65 million. According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the Saudi Arabian team has already offered €65 million for Raphinha, and more proposals might arrive at Camp Nou. Meanwhile, ‘Mirror’ reports that Arsenal is willing to pay around €50 million for his services.
Raphinha’s contract with Barcelona runs until 2027, and he is happy at Camp Nou. However, he would not rule out leaving if the club signs Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. Barcelona values Raphinha highly but recognizes that his sale could finance their other transfer plans.
The board at Barcelona has already received a firm offer for Raphinha. A Saudi Arabian club offered €65 million for the winger, but Barcelona believes he is worth much more. According to the ‘Mirror’, Arsenal has made Raphinha a priority and is willing to pay around €50 million. The Gunners plan to use the funds from Rowe’s transfer to Fulham and offer Raphinha the No.10 shirt.
So far, Barcelona has received €9 million from the sale of Chadi Riad to Crystal Palace and another €6 million from Marc Guiu’s departure to Chelsea. With the transfer window open, Raphinha does not rule out leaving if Barcelona secures the reinforcements they want. The summer transfer period looks to be a long and eventful one for the former Leeds player and the Catalan giants.
