Aston Villa is looking to strengthen their attacking choices for the upcoming season and is evaluating different potential additions to improve their team.
Raphinha is a top priority for teams looking to make a move in the upcoming summer transfer window. Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, highly appreciates the skills of the Barcelona winger and sees him as a strong candidate to fill the void left by the departure of Moussa Diaby.
Barcelona’s position on Raphinha has changed recently.
Despite the continuous financial difficulties faced by the club, they no longer consider the Brazilian player as a potential asset to be sold. Raphinha has emerged as a crucial player for Barcelona under the management of Hansi Flick.
Losing him at this point would be a major blow for the team, particularly since they do not have the resources to find a suitable replacement.
With less than two days left in the transfer window, it is uncertain if Aston Villa will increase their attempts to sign Raphinha.
It appears that the player is more inclined to stay at Barcelona rather than transfer to another team at this point in time.
