Last summer there was a real race for Raphinha. Chelsea FC and Arsenal FC were keen to sign the right winger – but FC Barcelona won the contract. The Brazilian international came to the Camp Nou from Leeds United for a whopping 65 million euros.
The start there was also very promising, but before the World Cup break Raphinha had to go to the bench again and again. Only once did the left foot play more than 90 minutes. The scoring record: two goals and four assists in 18 games. They had promised more in Catalonia.

The portal ‘Relevo’ is therefore already bringing into play a departure from Raphinha in the coming summer. There are arguments for this: The 26-year-old once made an impression in the Premier League. He is also one of those players who could fill Barça’s empty treasury. There should be at least one big sale in the summer.
Meanwhile, from Raphinha’s environment it can be heard that the player does not actually want to change, but wants to assert himself in Barcelona. However, he was disappointed with his current situation – Raphinha had promised more minutes. However, he also needs time to adapt. But you rarely have that at the really big clubs.
