La Liga giants Barcelona are expected to be on the receiving end of a big-money offer for a leading member of the club’s frontline this summer.
That’s according to Barca insider Adrian Sanchez, who points towards Raphinha as the player in question.
Wide-man Raphinha is of course in the midst of nothing short of a sensational campaign to date.
Amid the freedom afforded to him in Hansi Flick’s free-flowing, attack-minded new system, the Brazilian has exploded into one of Barcelona’s standout performers.
All told, in 41 appearances across all competitions thus far, Raphinha has directly contributed to 46 goals.
And such ongoing excellence, it is understood, has not gone at all unnoticed on the part of the leading clubs in the Middle East.
This comes amid confirmation on the part of the aforementioned Adrian Sanchez that:
“The club already knows that Saudi Arabia will put a LOT OF MONEY on the table this summer to try to get Raphinha.”
It is considered highly unlikely, however, that either club or player would take any such offer into consideration.
