Barcelona are in a big mess financially and it will be crazy for them to spend €55M+ for Raphinha. I wouldn't bet on Barcelona to make such move, they should rather give their young players the chance to prove themselves and I think they'll do great. It's best they invest the money on something important.
The price tag for Rafinha is kinda much expensive in my opinion for a player that has just one year left for his contract to expire, if Leeds had gone to relegation I believe that the price won't have been this much. There are many options, such as Gnabry, who wants Bayern 40 million, and Mahrez-Stirling, whose contracts expire in the summer of 2023. This means that their prices will not be like Rafinha, or go to the option of Moussa Diaby, or loan ZiyashI think it is very reasonable for Leeds to charge a high price for Raphinha, because so far Raphinha is one of the key players that Leeds has.
So there's no way Leeds will let Raphinha off for a cheap price, unless indeed Leeds are relegated there is an option to redeem Raphinha at
a cheaper price. It seems that the chances of Raphinha moving to Barcelona are very small, knowing Barcelona's financial condition is not good.
But there are rumors that Raphinha is also wanted by Man United. Moreover, the wing sector owned by Man United now cannot meet expectations.
Maybe only Elanga looks good enough as a winger at Man United, but Elanga still lacks experience, so it is indeed a good purchase if it is true that
Man United are interested in bringing in Raphinha.
