Brazilian international Raphinha may be on his way out of FC Barcelona in the near future, according to reports from Spanish media.
The former Stade Rennais forward has been impressive under new Barcelona manager Hansi Flick this season, playing a pivotal role in the team’s attack. His exceptional performances have earned him a place as one of the squad’s top contributors, and in the absence of Frenkie de Jong and Marc-André ter Stegen, Raphinha has even captained the side—reflecting Flick’s trust in his leadership and professionalism.
Raphinha’s form has attracted attention from several top European clubs, with Arsenal reportedly showing strong interest. The Gunners, seeking to bolster their forward line, have made him a top target. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to be a big fan of the Brazilian and has urged the club to pursue his signing aggressively.
According to reports, Arsenal is prepared to offer up to €75 million for Raphinha, but Barcelona, aware of his increasing value, has reportedly set a price of at least €83 million. The next move now lies with Arsenal, who will have to decide if they are willing to meet Barcelona’s demands.
Should the deal go through, it could be one of the most exciting transfers of the upcoming window, with Raphinha likely to be a significant addition for whichever club matches his price.
