FC Barcelona are preparing to pay a fortune for Raphinha, it could be a costly mistake

There is no doubt that Raphinha is one of the great objectives that FC Barcelona has in this transfer market. Xavi Hernandez, the current coach of FC Barcelona, aims to reinforce his squad and considers the Brazilian to be the ideal player to strengthen the offensive zone. However, the directors of the blaugrana institution know that the operation will not be easy, they plan to pay big money to get the services of the Leeds United player.

Player sales could bring a possible €150 million injection for FC Barcelona, helping Joan Laporta find financial stability

Different Spanish media have assured that Joan Laporta, president of Barça, is determined and will launch a huge offer to close the signing of the South American winger. They will offer 75 million euros from the Camp Nou to the English club, in order to add to their ranks one of the best attackers in the Premier League.

In addition to Raphinha, Barcelona has other players in mind. Jules Koundé, currently playing for Sevilla, is another player who has become one of the top priorities of Barcelona’s new project. The problem for Barcelona is money. Despite having started with the activation of economic levers, the azulgranas are still far from reaching the 65 million euros that Sevilla is asking for the departure of the Frenchman.

By paying such a high transfer fee for Raphinha, Barcelona would be limiting itself in the search for other signings of greater importance.

Barcelona play a dangerous game, once again

Last season, the 25 year-old played in the English league with 11 goals and three assists. Of course, the numbers are not appropriate to think about paying such a large amount of money, and there is some fear in Barça about whether the signing of Raphinha is the continuation of the disaster that involved other moves in the market such as the cases of Coutinho or Dembélé himself.
