Barcelona Rejects Offer for Raphinha: Demands Higher Transfer Fee

Barcelona turned down great offer for Raphinha

Hero of the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League between PSG and Barça (2-3), Raphinha would have been the subject of an offer of 60 million euros from a Premier League club, reveals the Spanish daily Sport on Tuesday. However, FC Barcelona would have refused it. Indeed, the Catalan club would not intend to sell its Brazilian winger for less than 80 million euros.

• Our opinion: Barça bought him for 58 million in 2022 and will certainly intend to make a capital gain with the former Rennais.

Martial va quitter Manchester United

Linked to Manchester United until next June, Anthony Martial will leave free, announces journalist Fabrizio Romano. This season, the former Monegasque, injured in the groin since mid-December, has participated in thirteen Premier League matches, including five as a starter (for one goal).

• Our opinion: A return to France could allow him to relaunch in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

Towards a new contract for Pedri

In a press conference, Pedri confirmed that FC Barcelona were about to offer him a new contract. “I’m really calm. I know that Barça’s leaders will respect their word,” said the midfielder currently linked to the Blaugrana until June 2026. “Barça has always been the club of my dreams.”

• Our opinion: Barring a huge surprise, Pedri will be a Barça player next season.

Leverkusen not sure of keeping its entire squad

In an interview with AS, Fernando Carro, the sporting director of Bayer Leverkusen, announced that the 2024 German champion was not certain of being able to keep its entire squad for next season. “Every year we need to sell an important player to find funds to recruit new players. So we will probably part ways with one player,” he said. “We plan to sign two or three players with the amount of this transfer.”

• Our opinion: Florian Wirtz, followed by several European heavyweights, constitutes the club’s best market value. But his departure could have serious consequences on a sporting level.

Anderson to return to Brazil

Under contract with Lazio Rome until June 2024, Felipe Anderson will return to Brazil, where he began his professional career between 2010 and 2013, even if Juventus Turin planned to offer him a three-year lease, announces journalist Fabrizio Romano . The Brazilian international right winger would have chosen Palmairas for family reasons.

• Our opinion: Bad news for Serie A fans…
