Arsenal keen to prise long-term transfer target Raphinha away from Barcelona

<p>Raphinha has transformed his Barcelona fortunes after a slow start to his journey with the Catalan giants, emerging as their captain. In the 2024-25 campaign, he has been the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/crazy-stat-raphinha-lionel-messi-numbers-barcelona-star-scores-again-remarkable-run-champions-league/blt7911073e115a9b03#csdd3b58f84fe2f096" target="_blank">club's best player</a> having contributed with 22 combined goals and assists across all competitions in 17 appearances. His form has started attracting interest from clubs across Europe including Premier League giants Arsenal, according to <a href="https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/oferta-90-millones-raphinha-20241117.html" target="_blank"><em>Fichajes</em></a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Gunners, who have missed out in the title race at the last moment in the past two seasons, are finally hoping to cross the line this time and are accordingly planning to bolster their attack. The report also adds that the north London outfit are ready to offer a whopping €90 million (£75m/$95m) to secure the Brazilian's signature. The club had earlier shown interest in the player before he had completed his transfer from Leeds United to Catalonia.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Raphinha has been linked with a move away in the past, as the Catalans have contemplated offloading him amid their ongoing financial crisis. However, now with the winger's rise in form, it is unlikely that head coach Hansi Flick will sanction the player's sale.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For now, the player remains focused on Barcelona and will be back in action for them after the international break on Saturday, as Flick's men take on Celta Vigo in La Liga.</p>
