Barcelona winger Raphinha has openly expressed his disappointment after failing to persuade his Brazilian teammate to sign for the Catalan giants. The highly rated player, currently valued at around £90 million, has reportedly decided to join Manchester United instead, with personal terms already agreed between the forward and the Premier League side.
Raphinha revealed that he made every possible effort to convince the player that Barcelona was the right destination, but the decision was already firm. “I did everything I could to bring him here, but he has chosen Manchester United. Honestly, I don’t know what he saw in them, but I’m not happy with it,” Raphinha admitted.
This move marks a significant setback for Barcelona, who had been keen to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season. Meanwhile, Manchester United look set to secure one of the most expensive and highly sought-after talents in world football, a signing that could reshape their squad going into the campaign.
