Barcelona slap €150 million price tag on key winger amid Saudi Arabia interest – report | OneFootball

Raphinha has cemented himself as a crucial player for Barcelona under Hansi Flick this season.

The Brazilian winger is enjoying a sensational campaign, registering 24 goals and 18 assists in 39 appearances in all competitions.

The former Leeds United star’s ability to beat defenders in 1v1 situations, his precision in the final pass, and his finishing ability have made him one of the most influential players in the squad.

Naturally, his performances have attracted interest from several clubs in Saudi Arabia, who are willing to make a substantial offer for his services.

Barcelona do not want to sell Raphinha, set €150 million price tag

Now, according to Fichajes, Barcelona do not have any plans to sell Raphinha in the summer and will not make it easy for interested clubs which is why they have slapped an enormous €150 million price tag on the winger.

The Catalan club’s management recognises the Brazilian international’s importance and is not inclined to facilitate his departure.

His current form and leadership qualities make him a key asset for the club, which is why Barcelona are planning on renewing his contract and will not entertain cut-price offers or financial compromises.

Given this stance, the only way Raphinha could leave would be if an offer meets Barcelona’s demands. The Blaugrana have thus set his price tag at no less than €150 million, a figure that, while steep, reflects his current level and influence within the team.

For Saudi clubs, this presents a major challenge, as they would need to make a significant financial commitment to secure his signature.
