Barcelona believe they can recover the money invested in summer signing if necessary
Barcelona are staring at a crucial summer ahead where they must facilitate the exit of several players in order to be able to sign new players in the market, including top target Lionel Messi.
Barça are set to be in talks with the La Liga executives to ascertain the extent of changes they must make in order to not only sign the Argentine but also balance the books.
In a recent update, SPORT has claimed that Barcelona are forecasting major changes in the coming season and it appears the club are not ruling out the sale of some of the star players, including Raphinha.
The club are aware of the clout the Brazilian has in the Premier League. The player, after all, had immense success at Leeds United before his move to Camp Nou last summer. There are clubs such as Arsenal who have constantly kept tabs on his situation at Barça.
Following his move in the summer, Raphinha struggled to live up to the expectations. But, the 26-year-old winger has proven his value with some clutch goals, especially during the absence of Ousmane Dembele, although his lack of consistency is a concern.
Raphinha has scored six goals in 25 league matches. However, only 15 of them have been starts.
The report suggests Barcelona believe that they will be able to recoup the money they spent on Raphinha due to his demand in the Premier League. The Brazilian, though, is not the only attacker in danger of being sold in the coming summer.
Ferran Torres is a possible candidate, amid interest from Atletico Madrid, whereas Ansu Fati could be another player in contention to be sold. Manchester United are closely monitoring the player, along with other European giants.
As Barcelona look to make at least €120 million from the sale of their unwanted stars this coming summer, it will not come as a surprise to see either of these three attackers being sold at the end of the season.
