At FC Barcelona, the club’s financial situation and its problems with La Liga’s financial fair play are paralyzing the transfer window. Barça must sell quickly to ensure that it can register its players, particularly Nico Williams, who is closely followed by Paris Saint-Germain. Joan Laporta and his teams are therefore working to free up wages and handsome transfer fees, while an offer from Saudi Arabia could completely change the situation.
According to Sport, Al Nassr, which has stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Aymeric Laporte and Sadio Mané, would be ready to pay around 100 million euros to secure the services of Raphinha, who has a contract with Barça until June 2027. Even if the Brazilian is coming off a successful season (10 goals and 13 assists in 37 matches), Barça are open to negotiating any good offer that will allow them to reduce the squad’s wage bill to start their transfer window and manage to conclude the Nico Williams and Dani Olmo deals.
