Barca's Raphinha not ruling out a return to the Premier League

Newcastle are willing to pay 80 million euros for Raphinha. Barcelona are considering the offer as they need to balance their books to sign Lionel Messi. The Brazilian has a contract until 2027 with the Catalan side but, according to 'Sport', he could return to play in England.

The same media outlet reports that Raphinha is comfortable at the Camp Nou but knows he will not get much playing time if Messi returns as the Argentinian star would play with Ousmane Dembele on the right flank.

Moreover, the Brazil international knows the English league inside out, having played for Leeds United before joining Barcelona. As a result, the 26-year-old has not ruled out a return to the Premier League.

Newcastle are not the only ones interested in Raphinha as several clubs such as Chelsea and Arsenal are keeping an eye on his situation. Nonetheless, the Catalan board will not accept less than 70 million euros for his transfer.
