MundoDeportivo claims that a Saudi club has offered €65 million for Raphinha. While the club’s name hasn’t been disclosed, Al-Hilal previously expressed interest in the player.
The report also mentions that Barcelona view the offer as “somewhat low” but recognizes the potential financial boost it could provide.
Meanwhile, DiarioSport reports that Al-Nassr has submitted a €100 million bid for Raphinha, hoping to pair him with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in their attack.
Raphinha’s future at Barcelona appears uncertain, despite his consistent statements expressing happiness at the club and his desire to stay.
However, the arrival of new signings like Nico Williams or Dani Olmo could make Raphinha expendable.
Barcelona still need to offload players, and with Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong currently injured, attention may shift to Raphinha as a possible departure.
In other news, Raphinha has been included in new Barcelona manager Hansi Flick’s 31-man squad for the team’s pre-season tour of the United States.
The squad will face Manchester City, Real Madrid, and AC Milan. Raphinha and Ilkay Gundogan will join the team on Monday, while Jules Kounde will arrive on August 1.
Injured players Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Ronald Araujo, and Ansu Fati will remain behind to recover. The tour kicks off with a match against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City on Tuesday.
Here’s the full list of players making the trip:
Goalkeepers: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inaki Pena, Ander Astralaga, Diego Kochen
Defenders: Alejandro Balde, Inigo Martinez, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Julian Araujo, Clement Lenglet, Hector Fort, Alex Valle, Mikayil Faye, Gerard Martin, Andrés Cuenca, Sergi Domínguez, Alexis Olmedo.
