This summer, former Premier League star Raphinha was linked to Saudi Arabian money bins. The Brazilian failed to establish himself in Xavi’s starting eleven. Then came the move to Hansi Flick’s Barca football, a change that has given Raphinha the working conditions to hammer in 17 goals and serve 10 assists in 24 games. While this gives the 28-year-old a completely different status at Barcelona, three Premier League giants are getting ready.
A month ago, reports came from Spanish media Barcelona would reward Raphinha with a new contract that extends beyond the current one until 2027. Then it has been completely quiet. According to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have all expressed their interest in the winger with 17 goals and 12 assists in 65 Premier League appearances for Leeds.
Raphinha is a player in the form of his life, who has proven himself in the world’s toughest league in the past. For the three Premier League clubs, a player worth his weight in gold, who can be put to work at the match arena immediately after signing.
