ARSENAL PREPARED TO PAY £42 MILLION AND COMPLETE SIGNING OF LA LIGA STAR
It has been claimed again that Arsenal are prepared to pay £42 million in order to try and sign Raphinha from Barcelona this summer transfer window.
During his time with Barcelona – Raphinha established himself as one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier League and a man that was destined to play at the very highest level of the game.
The Brazil international bid farewell to the Premier League when completing a big-money transfer from Leeds to Camp Nou in the summer of 2022, and had hoped to take that next step in his development.
He has shown glimpses of what he is capable of while in Catalunya, with 20 goals recorded in over 80 appearances, but has not been the hit that many would have hoped, which has led to alot of speculation in the media.
Several European clubs have been closely monitoring the 27-year-old’s performances and after his recent success, a Premier League club submitted a €60 million bid for the player, according to recent reports.
According to Mundo Deportivo the Gunners are prepared to pay £42million for the Barcelona winger, though they are expected to face competition from Newcastle for his signature
Look, there will be alot of rumours over the next few weeks about the future of Raphinha and to be honest – he probably will leave Barcelona. But is he the type of player that Arsenal need at this stage?
ARSENAL already have so many quality wingers – so adding another one is not really on the agenda – which is why we believe the Gunners will decide to not make a move for the Brazilian unless it is for a real bargain.
