The FC Barcelona wants to join raphinha for the next season with the intention of reinforcing its offensive zone. The departure of Ousmane Dembélé, the uncertainty of the continuity of Adama Traoré and how difficult it is to sign Erling Haaland, Joan Laporta is looking for an option to reinforce the right wing.
The main problem of the FC Barcelona is that, according to informed the mirror english newspaperwill have three important rivals in the race for the signing of the Brazilian.
The 3 rivals of FC Barcelona for the signing of Raphinha
-Liverpool: The red team is looking for an attacker who can be a substitute for Mohamed Salah in the short term and who can replace him when the Egyptian leaves the club, which may be closer than expected due to the fact that he has not renewed his contract that ends in the summer of 2023. It is a profile that Jürgen Klopp likes a lot and that has shown to have the conditions to be important in the Premier League.
-Bayern Munich: The Bavarian team wants to continue strengthening its squad to offer more variants to Julian Nagelsmann. Gnabry’s possible departure would leave the team without a top-tier natural right winger, which is why they have set their sights on the Brazilian to fill that role. It is an interesting bet, if we take into account that it will not require as high an investment as other important players.
-Manchester City: The citizen team is experiencing a situation similar to that of Liverpool. Mahrez’s contract ends in the summer of 2023 and he has not renewed his bond, so they are looking for options to occupy that area in the short and long term. Guardiola likes the Brazilian very much because he can play the role of the Algerian very well and that he has the conditions to fit into his idea of the game. His price tag is another hook, considering he wants to bring in a top-tier center forward.
Other teams that are interested in Raphinha are West Ham United and Newcastle United, who see it as a good option but only if Leeds United’s relegation to the second division is confirmed. Where will the attacker of the White team play next season?
