Rumors of Rafinha leaving Barcelona persist.
This shouldn’t be the case – the Brazilian has been in great form for the Blaugrana since joining from Leeds and was one of their best players last season.
But the fact that they can sell him for a high fee and reinvest that money means no one can rule out an exit. Catalan newspaper Sport reported interest from Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, but Rafinha himself denies it.
Al Hilal and Premier League team develop relationship with winger
The winger’s contract expires in two years, so things will start to get serious from this summer onwards. Premier League teams have also been mentioned as potential transfer destinations.
But from his point of view, it is clear that he just wants a new contract and wants to stay at Barcelona permanently. He apparently doesn’t like being blamed for these rumors and doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.
No offers are “on the table” at this time, so there’s nothing to get anyone excited about…
In other news…
Premier League sides have been linked to sign Omar Marmouche from Manchester City as he struggles to find a role in the team.
Aston Villa are preparing to sign Julián Quinones, who is currently attracting interest from several European teams following his impressive performance with Mexico at the World Cup.
