Raphinha reveals the one thing that could force his exit
Raphinha looked back at his experience at the club, a few setbacks, and where he thinks he may be heading in the future.
While Lamine Yamal dominated headlines against Inter Milan, another Barcelona attacker was quietly rewriting the history books.
Raphinha looked back at his experience at the club, a few setbacks, and where he thinks he may be heading in the future.
Raphinha has given an astonishingly frank account of the dilemma for modern footballers after receiving a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.
Raphinha’s contract negotiations are still in early stages, however, initial proposals being discussed are revealing an unexpected approach.
Barcelona backs the notion of extending the player’s contract as part of a structured plan, while the player would favour more variance.
Not only would this deal allow Barcelona to receive a large transfer fee, but it would also remove a massive salary from their wage bill
The club has even made an earlier bite at the cherry with a €100 million bid to Barcelona, to test their resolve to keep their star man.
The offers planned to be presented will be eye-watering, both in terms of transfer fees and wages, putting Barcelona in a difficult position.
The €80 million transfer fee reflects Raphinha’s skyrocketed value, but it remains to be seen whether any club will meet Barcelona’s demands.
