FC Barcelona is preparing for an 80 M€ clash

The 2022-23 season is coming to an end. And the next one is already on everyone’s mind at FC Barcelona. To retain the title in La Liga and do much better in the Champions League, the Blaugranas intend to offer an ultra competitive team to Xavi. But to achieve this, they will have to sell some items. In addition to Jordi Alba, who announced his departure, ten players will not be retained by management according to Sport. Among them, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati.

A list where Raphinha did not appear. However, the Iberian media has been ensuring for weeks that the FCB does not intend to continue the adventure with the Brazilian. Arrived last summer from Leeds for an amount of 58 million euros, the winger was not completely convinced in Catalonia. Recently, Sport has also specified that the residents of Camp Nou had set the price of the international Auriverde at 80 million euros.

And the Blaugranas were hopeful, especially as the Spanish publication revealed that Raphinha was wondering about his future. But this Monday Sport released important information since the media indicated that the Brazilian does not want to leave. He has communicated to his very close entourage that he wants to continue to evolve under Xavi’s orders and improve his performance in 2023-24. He believes 100% in his ability to achieve this. This does not suit Barça, who must find money this summer.

And the leaders were counting on a possible departure of Raphinha, one of the players in the squad to always have a good rating on the market. Sport recalls that Chelsea and Newcastle are very interested in the idea of ​​​​recovering the 26-year-old player, who shone at the Peacocks. But that’s obviously not in his plans. Advised by Deco, who will be at the head of the sports management but who would like to convince him to leave, Raphinha is preparing for an eventful off-season. And like Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay last summer, he obviously does not want to help the Culés. A new showdown in anticipation.
