Club now ready to sell £55M after claims Tottenham are preparing bid
Now that Tottenham is getting ready to make an offer for the Brazilian, Barcelona is glad to sell Raphinha in order to generate some much-needed money, According to Marca.
What’s new on Raphinha, the Tottenham target? Let’s examine this.
Barcelona offered to sell Raphinha.
As Ange Postecoglou looks to bolster his assault, Tottenham is reportedly considering an offer to sign the Brazil international this summer, according to SPORT in Spain.
Raphinha is now one of three players offered for sale as Barcelona looks to earn some cash to balance the books this summer, according to information provided by Marca, another Spanish news source.
Jules Kounde and Andreas Christensen are the other names on the transfer list.
According to Marca, Raphinha is expected to be sold once Barcelona signs him for £55 million from Leeds in July 2022, since they owe the club an amortized €30 million (£26 million) payment.
Although Premier League supporters are well aware of the South American’s apparent potential, he has found it difficult to make an impression at Camp Nou.
In 71 games for Barcelona, Raphinha has only managed 14 goals; to be honest, a player of his caliber is capable of much more.
This season, opportunities have also been few for the 27-year-old, who has only started eight of the 24 games in La Liga under Xavi.
Dejan Kulusevski’s position may alter if Raphinha moves to Tottenham.
It would be intriguing to watch how Postecoglou employs the Porto Alegre native if Tottenham signs Raphinha, who has declared his love for Arsenal.
In football, Raphinha has established himself by cutting inside from the right wing onto his better left foot—a move that is also often utilized by Dejan Kulusevski.
Consequently, it could be difficult to start both strikers in the same lineup, which implies Postecoglou might slightly adjust the Sweden international’s position.
Whatever the case, Raphinha would surely strengthen Tottenham’s assault since he is considerably more adapted to English football than he is to life in Spain.
