It is no secret that clubs from Saudi Arabia have been pushing hard to sign Barcelona winger Raphinha in the ongoing transfer window.

The 27-year-old winger is one of the candidates to be possibly sold by the club to generate revenue, with clubs from the Middle East ready to splash big money on his capture.

However, Raphinha has always maintained that he is not interested in leaving Barcelona and remains determined to prove himself and succeed at the club.

Raphinha knocks back Al Nassr

Now, SPORT reports that Raphinha has once again turned down a lucrative proposal from Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.

As per Fabrizio Romano, the former Leeds United winger was contacted by intermediaries about a possible switch to Saudi Arabia this summer, but the player made it clear that he will not leave Barcelona.

Building on that, SPORT have unearthed more details about the situation, claiming that the club that made the approach for Raphinha is Al Nassr.

As per the report, Cristiano Ronaldo’s current team would be willing to offer a mammoth €100 million fee to sign the 27-year-old from Barcelona.

On top of that, the Middle Eastern outfit presented a very lucrative contract offer to Raphinha worth €20 million per season net for three years, meaning a deal worth 860 million in total.

Raphinha, though, was once again very clear about his stance on his future: he only wants to stay at Barcelona and succeed at the club.

As far as Barcelona are concerned, the club could certainly use the €100 million fee that Al Nassr would be willing to offer for Raphinha. But the winger not interested in an exit, only time will tell if they try and force the Brazilian to leave.
