Arsenal have been handed a potential game-changer as Barcelona winger Raphinha is reportedly open to a Premier League return, according to HITC. This news comes as Barcelona prioritizes playing time for youngsters Lamine Yamal and potentially Nico Williams.
Raphinha, a long-term target for Arsenal, had previously been reluctant to leave Barcelona after his dream move there two years ago. However, recent talks suggest he’s not guaranteed a starting spot under the new regime.

This development has reignited interest from Arsenal, alongside Chelsea and Newcastle. All three clubs were keen on Raphinha in 2022, and Barcelona seems receptive to offers.
For Arsenal, Raphinha could be the perfect backup for Bukayo Saka. He would offer world-class competition and a significant upgrade over current backup Reiss Nelson, who rarely featured last season.
