FC Barcelona: 100 million more thanks to Raphinha?

FC Barcelona cannot get out of its financial crisis. The Catalan club could be forced to give up a few players. Like Raphinha, who could be the subject of a significant offer.

Raphinha could help Barça out of their financial crisis

The performance of Raphinha against Benfica Lisbon on Tuesday evening in the Champions League must have reassured his courtiers. Like Arsenal for example. The Premier League club could pull FC Barcelona out of the financial crisis thanks to a monstrous offer for the Brazilian player. But another club could double it. We are therefore talking about an amount of 100 million euros that Manchester City would be ready to pay to convince Barça to sell their Brazilian international before the end of the 2025 winter transfer window.

Manchester City want Raphinha and have the means

Selon TeamTalk, “Raphinha could be Manchester City’s big summer signing“. And in the meantime, Chelsea could get involved and engage in a real auction with the Citizens to recruit Raphinha. What would make FC Barcelona and its finances happy, we anticipate in Catalonia. At this stage, however, the position of the player must be considered. The Brazilian lives again under Hansi Flick and has had a full season whether in La Liga or the Champions League.

Laporta could force the transfer of the Brazilian player

There has been no suggestion that Raphinha wants to leave the Blaugranes, and theoretically the only way such a transfer would be possible is if the president, Joan Laporta, puts pressure on the player and his representatives because the club has always need money in the club coffers. With Laporta’s popularity rating seemingly at an all-time low among supporters, it’s a decision he would be ill-advised to make, although in football you can never say never, of course.
