Raphinha has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Liverpool. Barcelona appears open to letting him go, and in a recent interview, the Brazilian winger expressed admiration for Liverpool’s incoming coach, saying, “If Arne Slot calls, you pick up.”
**Raphinha’s Transfer Saga Heats Up**
Barcelona star Raphinha is drawing serious interest from top Premier League clubs—Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. The Brazilian winger is having a stellar season, playing a crucial role in Barcelona’s success under manager Hansi Flick. The team is in the Champions League semifinals and currently leads the La Liga standings.
With 30 goals and 23 assists in all competitions, Raphinha has emerged as Barcelona’s standout player. His form has made him a hot commodity, with Premier League clubs eyeing a potential summer move.
According to TBR Football, intermediaries have let it be known that Raphinha could be available for a transfer—though it would take an offer of around £80 million to bring him back to England, where he previously played for Leeds United.
Despite having a contract until 2027, Barcelona is working to tie him down to a longer deal, with sporting director Deco leading the talks. Meanwhile, Saudi clubs have also shown interest, but Raphinha is said to be uninterested in a move there.
Now firmly established in La Liga, Raphinha is enjoying the best season of his career and is even being mentioned as a potential Ballon d’Or contender. If Barcelona clinches both the league and Champions League titles, his case for the award could be hard to ignore.
Elsewhere, Arsenal and Liverpool—soon to be managed by Arne Slot—are also reportedly pursuing Lille striker Jonathan David.
