Despite Raphinha becoming a key piece for Xavi, the club know that they could get a lot of money for selling him. In England, clubs such as Arsenal are going for him and there could a tide sum on the table for him. If, therefore, Barca need to sell, the Brazilian could be the one sacrificed.
According to 'Sport', the latest big club to call at his door was Chelsea. The London side already tried to sign him last summer. However, the Brazil international opted for Barcelona.
Now, what with the 'Financial Fair Play' rules imposing themselves on the Camp Nou, him leaving is not being ruled out. Therefore, the Blues want to make the most of the 'Cules' poor economic situation to get him on board. However, the Brazil international doesn't want to leave the Spanish giants.
On the other hand, Barca would only let Raphinha go for a large sum, as he's under contract there until 2027. At the moment, the board are considering all the possible offers open to their players.
What's more, the Catalonians are willing to listen to offers for Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati, but the two players are currently reluctant to leaving. Therefore, a departure for the Brazilian could be more likely.
