According to information from the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Raphinha was recently approached by a Saudi club whose identity remains unknown for the moment. Even though he seems to be happy at Camp Nou, the FC Barcelona winger has been linked with a potential move this summer.
Although the details of this offer remain unclear, it seems that the club in question would be willing to fork out 57 million euros, with the possibility of adding up to 8 million additional euros in add-ons. However, it’s unclear which team would be behind this move.

Will Raphinha change his mind?
The Brazilian player, who joined Barca last year from Leeds United, has had a lackluster season. Even though he got playing time, most of his starts were due to Ousmane Dembele’s injury. Raphinha has yet to show unquestionable performances at the Catalan club.
Either way, he seems to be happy in Barcelona. Asked several times about his future, Raphinha has always made it clear his desire is to stay at Camp Nou: “I will continue at Barcelona next season and beyond. I have many years under contract and I hope to honor those years and more. Barcelona is a city that I love, the Brazilians are very happy there. ”
However, it should be noted that many players have already changed their minds due to offers from Saudi Arabia.
