Blaugrana in English Barcelona news
Raphinha lost his main place in the Barcelona formation, after he was an indispensable element by Xavi after signing him at Mercato last summer. In recent matches, he has played a secondary role, as the Catalan coach prefers to rely on Osman Dembele in the right wing position
Back to the Premier League?
Ukrainian Mykhailo mudryk, the talent of Shakhtar Donetsk club, was a major target for Arsenal, but the latest information from England indicates that Chelsea have outperformed Arsenal and secured his signing.
In this scenario, Arsenal is still looking for a winger to support the team in this winter transfer window, and one of the names on the agenda is Raphinha from Barcelona.
Raphinha was already in Arsenal’s orbit last summer, but the Brazilian was clear that his dream was to play for Barcelona and waited until he could finalize his arrival at the Camp Nou.
After a few months, Arsenal could return to interest in Raphinha and the portal ‘SportItalia’ confirms that the English have already contacted Barcelona to find out the feasibility of a possible signing during the month of January, although they have not yet made an official offer.
Edu, the sporting director of Arsenal, is a big fan of Raphinha, and the loss of the mudryk deal opens the door to the possibility that the Londoners will bet on contracting with the Brazilian.
In any case, Barcelona must recover, at least, 58 million euros in addition to the 7 in variables that they paid to sign him from Leeds last summer.
