Reports say that Barcelona is ready to let Arsenal target Raphinha leave if they can get Luis Diaz from Liverpool to replace him.
During his time at Leeds, Raphinha became one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier League. In the summer of 2022, he made a big move to Barcelona. Since signing with the Catalan giants, the Brazil international has shown flashes of his skill, scoring 20 goals in more than 80 games.
He hasn’t quite lived up to the high hopes, though, which has led to a lot of talk about his future.
A player that Arsenal has been interested in for a long time is said to be ready to leave Barcelona this summer.
Several teams in Europe have been keeping a close eye on the 27-year-old’s play. According to recent news, a Premier League club has made an offer of €60 million for Raphinha. Fichajes.net says that Al Nassr, Arsenal, and Chelsea are the three big teams that want to sign him. Arsenal is said to be in the lead in the race.
Mundo Deportivo says that even though Barcelona really wants to keep Raphinha, they might be ready to give him up if it means they can get Luis Diaz to leave Liverpool. Diaz moved from Porto to Liverpool in January 2022 for an initial £37 million ($47 million). In 98 games across all competitions, he has scored 24 goals and set up 13 others.
In the coming months, a lot of people will probably have ideas about what will happen with Raphinha. He is likely to leave Barcelona, but it is still unclear whether he is the type of player that Arsenal’s board usually looks for.
Barcelona wants to sign Diaz, but Liverpool doesn’t seem likely to be willing to let go of the Colombian forward. There is no guarantee that Barcelona will still try to sell Raphinha if they can’t get Diaz.
Arne Slot, who took over as manager of Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp, will want to build on the team that Klopp left behind. Because of this, Slot may not want to let the player go this summer.
