Newcastle United are prepared to reignite their move for Raphinha in the near future, as Barcelona could consider their options with the Brazilian.
According to Fichajes, Rpahinha is a target for Newcastle United in the near future, with the Magpies prepared to reignite their interest in the attacker. Barcelona are open to considering their options in the near future, as a big sale would ignite a lot of strong possibilities.
Barcelona have a big decision to make with regards to the future of one of their star attackers in the near future. The said name is Raphinha, with the Brazilian one of the key assets at the club, especially if the Catalans decide to bring in revenue from player sales.
Raphinha could theoretically become a top sale for Barcelona, but at the same time, destabilise their attack to a certain extent. Replacing the Brazilian, who signed for the club in a £55 million deal from Leeds United back in 2022, could become a difficult task for the club, especially now that he’s posting superb numbers.
Last season, he was phenomenal, and with some minor changes already taking place at Barcelona, some of the English sides are keen to bring him back. For instance, Liverpool are interested in Raphinha, while others like Chelsea and Arsenal have also shown an interest.
Manchester United were also keen at some stage, and now Newcastle United have entered the frame. The magpies held an interest in the past and are prepared to reignite their chase of the £55 million Barcelona attacker should he be made available in the near future.
Can Newcastle United sign Raphinha?
The report states how Newcastle United could potentially make Raphinha one of the highest-paid players at the club should they manage to sign him in the near future. The Magpies can also pay a top price for the £55 million Barcelona attacker, although the deal will entirely depend on the Brazilian’s preference.
As things stand, Raphinha prefers to play in Barcelona and recently revealed he rejected Chelsea back in 2022 to fulfil his dream of playing for the Catalans. Moreover, apart from Newcastle United, there will be several other clubs in the equation should the Brazilian become available, as the Magpies might be the least favourites in that regard.
