Three heavyweight clubs prepare moves for Barcelona leader
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
Barcelona backs the notion of extending the player’s contract as part of a structured plan, while the player would favour more variance.

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.
Raphinha has been a revelation under Hansi Flick, a form that has even seen him talked about for the Ballon d’Or.
Barcelona have made a sensational decision to sell Raphinha for this price.
The drama began in the dying minutes when the referee waved away a potential corner kick and instead blew the final whistle.
The club will hope Raphinha plays on his emotions as they chase trophies.
