Having recently sold Julian Araujo to Bournemouth, there is a conviction that Barcelona may be able to sanction many more exits in the days to come.

The club are close to finding an exit for defensive outcast Clement Lenglet, but the Frenchman won’t be the last player to leave the club.

Earlier in the day, Barcelona forward Raphinha was linked with an exit, with Manchester United reportedly interested in his services.

Barcelona favouring Raphinha sale

According to Que Thi Jugues, Barcelona appear to favour an exit for Raphinha amid speculation linking him to a move to Old Trafford.

This is hardly surprising considering the fact that the Catalans are desperate to generate fresh revenue, which could be integral in registering new signing Dani Olmo.

Although Barcelona have recently registered three new players into the new squad, Olmo is still not registered despite the transfer being announced earlier this month.

Olmo is joined by the likes of Inigo Martinez, Vitor Roque and Hector Fort on the list of players still yet to be registered by Barcelona.

The Blaugrana, therefore, are open to the sale of Raphinha, who has not been able to live up to the expectations since his big-money move from Leeds United.

It must be noted that Raphinha, despite his struggles in Spain, enjoys a solid market in England, due to his past exploits at Leeds.

That is perhaps why Man United are looking at him as a desirable option to reinforce their ranks in the attacking unit.

However, finding an agreement with the Premier League giants could be a challenge considering the fact that Barcelona are valuing the Brazilian at around €60 million.
