Raphinha emerged as a potential option to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking line.

Raphinha has emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal. The Gunners are reportedly keen on bolstering their attacking options, and Raphinha’s talent and creativity have caught their attention.

According to reports from The Mirror, Arsenal is willing to offer £42 million (approximately €50 million) for Raphinha’s services. The Gunner already fought with Chelsea to get the Brazilian the summer that Barça signed him, in 2022. However, this time around, Edu Gaspar, is determined to secure the Brazilian’s signature.

Edu Gaspar would want to convince Raphinha by offering him the number 10 shirt. The Mirror details that Arsenal would take advantage of the sale of Rowe, who is close to Fulham, to go for Raphinha. This symbolic gesture could sway the player’s decision.

Barcelona is open to selling him. Financial constraints have led them to reconsider their stance, despite their preference to retain the winger. The funds generated from his sale would contribute to Barcelona’s pursuit of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo.
