Arsenal are set to launch a £75 million bid for the Brazilian attacker next summer according to report from Fichajes.
Raphinha is currently at the top of his career at Barcelona, establishing himself as one of the most prominent stars on the global stage. In his first 17 games of the season, the Brazilian has netted 12 goals and provided 10 assists, showcasing his dual threat as both a scorer and a playmaker. This impressive form has caught the eye of Arsenal, who are reportedly preparing to make a bid of nearly 70 million euros to bring him to England, according to Fichajes.
Arsenal sees him as the perfect addition to bolster their attack, especially with the team struggling for consistency in the final third.
Raphinha’s previous experience in the Premier League with Leeds United makes him an attractive option for Arsenal, as he would not need time to adapt to the league. However, Barcelona considers Raphinha a vital part of their squad and may be reluctant to part with him, even for a substantial offer.
Barca have financial struggles and could find a £75 million bid too good to turn down even though Raphinha is one of the first names on the team sheet.
