Barcelona, currently navigating a delicate financial situation and adhering to strict financial fair-play rules, might consider selling players like Raphinha. This necessity is heightened by the team’s urgent need for a midfielder, following serious injuries to players Gavi and Pedri.
The club would consider offers for Raphinha but seeks a sum greater than the 58 million euros plus nine million in variables initially paid to Leeds United, with a starting price around 100 million euros.
