According to close sources, Tottenham have started talks with Raphinha’s entourage, the 27-year-old winger who currently plays for Barcelona. Despite being a useful player for the Spanish club, Raphinha has failed to live up to expectations and his future at Barcelona appears uncertain ahead of next season, making him a possible move in the summer transfer market.
With a contract valid until the summer of 2027, Barcelona are in a difficult financial position and are considering the sale of Raphinha as a possible significant source of income for the club. Given this situation, Tottenham have expressed their interest by contacting the player’s entourage and exploring the possibility of a potential signing during the next transfer window.
Raphinha, the sale that FC Barcelona must make
Although Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson are already in the Spurs ranks and are both capable of playing on the right wing, Tottenham are looking to strengthen their attacking unit. However, some analysts suggest that investing in a reliable center forward should be a priority rather than looking for a winger like Raphinha.
The Brazilian has already demonstrated his quality in the Premier League during his time at Leeds United and has attracted interest from several clubs. Although his possible arrival at Tottenham would be surprising given the presence of Kulusevski and Johnson, the uncertainty over his future at Barcelona opens the possibility of a new chapter in Raphinha’s career in the English league. The outcome of this story will be revealed in the coming months when the summer transfer window closes.
