Raphinha’s issue is that Barcelona still can’t officially register for the Spanish League due to the unsuccessful sale of Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United.
INDOSPORT.COM – Raphinha has officially become a new signing for the Spanish League giants (La Liga), Barcelona, but apparently the fate of the Brazilian winger will still depend on Manchester United.
Before the Red Devils succeeded in signing Frenkie de Jong in this transfer market, he would never be able to truly become a full Los Cules player.
It is no longer news that Barcelona are currently experiencing a severe economic crisis that has hampered their maneuvers in the player market.
In order to register new recruits to the official Spanish League squad, Barcelona must first sell a number of existing players.
Xavi Hernandez’s club can not arbitrarily enter names because they are currently under strict supervision over the salary quota that exceeds the limit allowed by the competition.
Raphinha, along with other new signings like Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessie, are unlikely to be officially registered by Barcelona.
Therefore De Jong will be replaced by Barcelona to be able to smooth out their transfer market.
Unfortunately selling the Dutch midfielder is not something easy. In addition to the high price, the person concerned himself is reluctant to leave the Camp Nou.
Manchester United have reportedly agreed on a dowry of 80 million euros but have not been able to fully persuade Frenkie de Jong to take his suitcase to Old Trafford.
The transfer market itself will still be open until August 31 and until then the Spanish League will still allow registration of new players.
