Barcelona winger Raphinha has impressed this season, prompting Arsenal to consider a bid of up to €90 million to secure his services. The Brazilian international, who joined Barcelona from Leeds a few years ago, has established himself as one of their key players.
Raphinha has contributed 12 goals and 8 assists in just 17 appearances this season across all competitions, making him a valuable asset Barcelona is unlikely to part with easily. However, Arsenal sees him as the perfect addition to their squad.
The Gunners, struggling to find consistency this season, lack a spark in tight games and rely heavily on Bukayo Saka in attack. Manager Mikel Arteta has built a solid midfield and defense but needs a dynamic forward like Raphinha to take the team to the next level.
At 27, Raphinha has proven his quality in the Premier League during his time at Leeds, making him an attractive option for Arsenal. Fans will be eager to see the club push hard for this transfer and hope Raphinha can both stand out and seamlessly integrate into the squad.
Meanwhile, Newcastle has also been linked with the Brazilian as his price tag begins to attract attention across Europe.
