Barca consider selling Raphinha

Raphinha is facing a crucial few months for his future at Barcelona. After a hesitant start and a spell in Qatar, the Brazilian winger has set his sights on becoming a key player for Xavi Hernandez.

The 60 million euros that Barcelona paid for the former Leeds player is a heavy burden on Raphinha, who has a promising future ahead of him, but he has not been as successful as he had hoped to be at the Spanish club.

Barcelona have made a huge financial effort in recent months. The financial levers have threatened the future of the club and the board know that they will have to make a big transfer to balance the books, as 'Relevo' points out.

Raphinha is one of the most highly rated players in Xavi's current squad. The 'Selecao' player does not want to leave, but there are teams who would put more than 50 million euros on the table for him.

The fact is that his level has not been bad, but it has not been enough for what was expected. Raphinha's effort to join the 'Cules' was also important, as he waited for them despite having a huge offer from Chelsea in the summer.
