FC Barcelona have their plans ready for the upcoming summer transfer window, and one of their main areas of concern is the forward line of the club. The Catalan giants will be looking to bring a number of changes in their attacking line, with players both leaving and coming in the transfer window.
As previously reported, Raphinha is one of the offensive players that the club is open to selling if a good offer arrives. The Brazilian arrived at FC Barcelona last summer, and had an inconsistent first season at the club, in which he was also lucky to get a sustained run in the starting line-up due to the long injury to Ousmane Dembele.
As a result, the club is looking to get the player sold while he still retains his previous value. However, the player himself has no intentions of leaving the club, as was clear from his responses to media after the last night’s match against Real Sociedad.
When asked about his intentions for the future, the player was clear that he wants to remain with the Catalan club for many years.
Another thing to note on the night was his hair, which he had dyed in Blaugrana colors to celebrate the title win. When asked about this, the player disclosed that he and Araujo had decided to do this celebration on the Espanyol match, but as the title had not been confirmed then, he decided to dye his hair now.
He also showed his commitment to his national side with the La Liga triumph, as he was spotted wearing a Brazilian flag during the celebrations. On this, the player stated that he always carries a Brazilian flag with him, as this was the place where he was born and where his loved ones live. He always keeps his country close in special moments.
Thus, while his future remains full of uncertainty, Raphinha has his mind clearly set on succeeding at Barcelona. If he remains, Xavi and the club will be hoping he will provide a better output than what he provided in his debut season at the club.
