Revealed: Raphinha To Barca Still Possible Thanks To One Key Person

Diario Sport's reliable Joaquim Piera (5 stars) claims that, according to people involved in the negotiations, Deco is the reason why Raphinha has not yet signed for Liverpool or Chelsea.

The former Barcelona player and now agent promised Joan Laporta that his client will only consider a move to Camp Nou as long as it remains possible.

Fabrizio Romano (5 stars) reports that the Catalans need to act quickly if they want to sign Raphinha. Clubs like Arsenal are back in the race for the 25-year-old, and Leeds United have no plans to lower their €55m asking price.

Barca want to sign the Brazilian as a replacement for Ousmane Dembele. In the 2021/22 season, Raphinha recorded 11 goals and 3 assists in 36 matches.
