DUGOUT_eyJrZXkiOiIxdVc2SHl3aCIsInAiOiJiZXNvY2NlciIsInBsIjoiIn0 Arsenal have Raphinha in mind for the 2023-24 season. The Premier League leaders have already knocked on Barca's door, but they decided not to open up and put their faith in the Brazilian, who's been key since Ousmane Dembele's injury.
'Sport' reported that the English side put €70 million on the table to sign the winger, but the Catalan side rejected it. Now, 'Football Insider' are the ones who are claiming that the Gunners' second attempt is to arrive in the summer.
The whim of a move would be difficult to pull off, and would benefit Barcelona. The player has a contract until 2027 and doesn't want to leave the city. However, 'Financial Fair Play' rules could give the Gunners a helping hand.
Mikel Arteta wants to up Arsenal's quality with sights set on the Champions League. Not only Bukayo Saka's renewal, but he also wants to sign someone on the same level as the English star and Martin Odegaard in London.
Raphinha has played 38 games so far this season with nine goals and nine assists. Xavi has found in the ex-Leeds man the perfect cover for an injured Ousmane Dembele, who's still out.
