Manchester United ready to offer €70 million for Barcelona captain but the answer is clear | OneFootball

Barcelona are once again in the headlines as speculation surrounding Raphinha’s future continues to grow.

According to reports from Fichajes, Manchester United have intensified their pursuit of the Brazilian winger, putting forward a significant offer of €70 million in hopes of securing his signature.

The outlet mentions that the English club is determined to strengthen its attacking options, but Barcelona hold the upper hand in this situation and may not be keen on parting ways with such an important player.

A decisive player

Since joining Barcelona, Raphinha has consistently showcased his technical brilliance, ability to take on defenders, and knack for creating goal-scoring opportunities.

His contributions have been instrumental in the club’s attacking setup, and while interest from top European clubs is not surprising, the Catalan side will carefully evaluate their stance before making any decision.

Manchester United’s eagerness to sign Raphinha stems from their struggles in attack over the past seasons. The English club is looking for a player who can bring creativity, pace, and versatility to their frontline.

Man United’s priority

At 28 years old, Raphinha is in his prime, and his ability to play across multiple attacking positions makes him an attractive option for any elite team.

However, Barcelona are well aware of his value, and letting him leave would not be a straightforward decision, especially considering the impact he has had under Hansi Flick’s system.

Despite United’s willingness to offer a substantial sum, Barcelona’s priority remains strengthening their squad rather than weakening it.

Unless an irresistible offer arrives, it is difficult to see the club agreeing to a deal that would see them lose such a key player.

The summer transfer window will certainly bring more speculation, but for now, Barcelona seem to have the upper hand as they are working on his renewal already.
