Raphinha is one of the Barça players with the largest market. The Brazilian international, signed for 58 million euros plus incentives, has always maintained a good poster in the Premier, but it is in Saudi Arabia where he generates special interest. Al Hilal have asked about Raphinha again, but the operation is now impossible. Another thing is what may happen next summer.
Al Hilal already asked about Raphinha this past August, but the player did not want to leave Barça and the sporting director, Deco, clearly opted for his continuity after the unexpected departure of Dembélé. At Barça they believed that Raphinha was going to take off this season, but his performances have been very irregular and there is some disappointment with his performance. For now he is not a differential player.
Despite everything, Raphinha has the absolute confidence of the sports management and coaching staff. He has been the undisputed starter, except for the weeks he has been injured, and it is expected that his performance will continue to grow. dIn fact, he is the winger most used by Xavi, far ahead of Ferrán Torres or Lamine Yamal.
Barça is not going to let anyone leave now in January due to the impossibility of incorporating players, but in the summer they will need two or three important sales to increase salary margin and be able to sign. And Raphinha is one of the footballers who can get the most transfers. Newcastle also wanted him in the summer but it is in Arabia where figures are paid absolutely out of the market.
Al Hilal signed Neymar last summer and the Brazilian has broken down. Now they want to make another important effort, but they could wait until June and Raphinha is on their transfer list. Barça knows this and his fate will be decided at the end of the season, but the Blaugrana club are totally open to the Brazilian entering the market.
