Barcelona had considered selling Raphinha last summer as they wanted to finance a move for Nico Williams. However, retaining the Brazilian has proven to be one of the Blaugrana's best decisions this season as he has exploded in form.
To the point where he once again attracts the interest of Europe's rich and elite. Sport cites a report from TBR News which claims that Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have all inquired about Raphinha's availability next summer. However, the chances of him leaving next year are described as slim as he has established himself as a leader and key player at Barcelona this season.
Raphinha was voted vice-captain by his teammates last summer and has scored 27 goals in 24 appearances this season – more than any other Barcelona player. However, it is notable that Barcelona are still looking at the left-wing position as an area to strengthen this summer, but it should also be said that the local press expects Barcelona to discuss a new contract for Raphinha next summer.
