Manchester City is reportedly interested in signing Barcelona’s 27-year-old winger Raphinha, with the Catalan club setting a price tag of €100 million.
Per Fichajes reports, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, is keen on adding the Brazilian player, who is currently in good form, to the squad of the reigning Premier League champions.
It is yet uncertain if Manchester City will be willing to match Barcelona’s high asking price of €100 million in the upcoming months.
In light of Barcelona’s current financial difficulties, they may consider a sale for the right offer. Raphinha’s previous experience in the Premier League could facilitate his adaptation and lead to an instant contribution.
The player may find the idea of going back to England enticing, especially with the opportunity to join a leading global club. Playing under Pep Guardiola, who is widely considered the top manager in the world, is another compelling factor.
Raphinha has excelled at Barcelona this season and may be willing to remain with the club to assist in their quest for trophies.
