The FC Barcelona winger Raphinha has been performing at a high level since returning from his last injury and was one of the most influential players for the Catalan club in the match against Napoli.

However, his future at Barcelona is still not very certain, as he has a lot of demand in the market, and has offers from two of the richest leagues in the world, i.e., the Premier League and the Saudi Pro League.

Currently, the winger is without an agent, as his last representative, Deco, closed his agency to become the Sporting Director at FC Barcelona.

But keeping in view his high demand in the market, SPORT reports that some of the most notable agents in the football market have started undertaking contacts with Raphinha to get an idea of his plans for his future.

One such big name is that of Pini Zahavi, who had recently visited Barcelona and was in the stands during the Barcelona and Napoli match. During this visit, the agent also met Raphinha at a private informal event.

But as things stand, none of these agents have made an offer for Raphinha to become a part of their client portfolio, and everything is only in its initial phases.

Raphinha himself is not too keen to move away from Barcelona, and he is clear that he will not pursue a contract with higher wages to give up the chance of playing for his childhood dream club.

However, Barcelona might have to push for a sale as they understand that they will have to make several sales this summer to obtain the required funds that will allow them to balance their accounts for the next season.

Only this season, Barcelona have received three offers for the Brazilian, with the latest of these coming from Saudi Arabia. However, the Catalans rejected each of these offers, both in the last summer and the winter transfer windows.

The club is also not looking to make a decision about his future right now, especially with Barcelona going into the decisive stretch of the season.
