Three teams are interested in the Barcelona captain, as the club is willing to move him for the proper price.

Barcelona skipper Raphinha, who has had a marvelous season providing assist for more than 50 goals, is also a highly prized asset in this summer transfer window.

In the latest report released by Fichajes, there are doubts whether the Brazilian forward will remain with the Catalan team as three big European and Middle Eastern clubs namely Manchester City, Al Hilal, and Chelsea are reportedly setting up to claim his services.

The source states that City view Raphinha as a crucial signing to resuscitate their left flank, which has struggled this season.

Additionally, in Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal view the Brazilian as an asset to add to their talismanic squad. With their increasing ambitions in the Saudi Pro League, they are eager to sign top-class talents, and Raphinha is no exception.

In the meantime, Chelsea view Raphinha as a tactical signing to strengthen their attack in case of departures.

The London side is looking to rebuild under new leadership, and signing a player of Raphinha’s quality would be a crucial step towards becoming competitive again.

What should be Barcelona’s positions be?

In spite of the interest from these big clubs, Raphinha has always stated that he wants to stay at Barcelona. But the club’s urgent financial issues might compel them to act in the transfer market.

Barcelona’s board is willing to sell if the offer is big enough, especially one that can ease the club’s financial burden.

It is alleged that Barcelona are open to letting go of Raphinha at a price tag of €100 million, and Al Hilal have already made it clear they are ready to match this transfer price.

Al Hilal’s attractive bid for Raphinha

Along with a match for the transfer fee, Al Hilal are said to have presented Raphinha with an astonishing $200 million-$50 million yearly deal until the year 2029.

This highly valued offer might just be enough to persuade the Brazilian to depart from Barcelona, no matter how attached he is to the club.

With several buyers eager to capture his services and Barcelona struggling financially, Raphinha’s destiny is now at stake, and the next few months will ascertain if he will remain or go on a new journey.
