Barca's new financial lever: Raphinha's price tag

Barcelona are beginning to wonder if they will be without Raphinha next season. Some Premier League clubs are insisting on bringing the Brazilian talent back to their football and the club are in desperate need of income.
'Sport' published on Monday that the 'Cules' board is willing to approve the departure of their '22' from 80 million euros. The investment would be more than amortised after the 58 plus 9 in variables of his transfer from Leeds United.
Barcelona are aware that Raphinha's departure is the best possible sale to make in the next transfer window. In addition, Chelsea and Newcastle want to open formal negotiations after the end of the campaign.
The big trump card in favour of the Magpies is that, barring a surprise, they will play in the next edition of the Champions League. The same will not be true of the Stamford Bridge side, who are hopelessly stuck in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Raphinha has scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists for Barcelona this season. Given the continuity of Ousmane Dembele, the 'Selecao' player would be more important in England.
