In the previous season, Raphinha started 36 games and made 14 substitute appearances across all competitions, contributing with 10 goals and 12 assists. However, the 26-year-old has faced challenges in replicating that form in the current season, struggling to secure a consistent spot in the starting lineup.
Despite being under contract at Camp Nou until the summer of 2027, Raphinha's long-term future at Barcelona seems uncertain. Spanish news outlet Sport reports that Barcelona is now open to considering offers for the winger in the upcoming transfer window, marking a departure from the earlier stance of considering him non-transferable.
Raphinha, who has previously expressed his contentment at Barcelona and a commitment to fighting for his place, could potentially leave the club less than two years into his tenure.
Several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, have shown interest in Raphinha, with rumors of a potential swap deal involving out-of-favor winger Jadon Sancho. Tottenham Hotspur is also linked to Raphinha, having reportedly intensified their pursuit after ending their interest in Brentford striker Ivan Toney.
Additionally, there are rumors of a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, with representatives from Middle Eastern clubs reportedly in contact with Barcelona to discuss the availability of Raphinha.
