Saudi Arabian giants prepared to offer at least €100 million for Barcelona winger

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, one of the biggest clubs in Saudi Arabia is very interested in signing Raphinha. 

The outlet affirms that they are ready to offer a huge amount of money, potentially at least €100 million and this offer also includes doubling his current salary and providing other benefits.

It is to be noted that while Raphinha turned down the first offer from Saudi Arabia, it remains to be seen if this new, more lucrative offer will convince him. 

At present, it is suggested that the player and his family are currently very happy living in Barcelona.

Raphinha’s value is on the rise

During the 2023/24 season, Raphinha’s performance has been impressive. Even though he faced strong competition from Lamine Yamal, he still managed to score 10 goals and 13 assists despite playing 13 fewer games than last season. 

He has proven himself not only as a scorer but also as a hardworking player, constantly pressing and fighting for every ball.

As a result, Raphinha’s market value continues to rise, and he could become a major asset for Barcelona if he accepts one of the offers coming his way as he is once again attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League. 

Lucrative deal for Raphinha

The proposed deal is very attractive for Barcelona, as they could receive a minimum of €100 million for Raphinha. 

For Raphinha, the offer includes doubling his current earnings at Barcelona, which is a significant financial incentive for the 27-year-old player. 

Although he rejected the first proposal, it remains to be seen if this new offer will change his mind. 

It was mentioned a few weeks ago that Raphinha was only considering leaving Barcelona if he received an exceptional offer from one of the top Premier League clubs.

Regardless of the potential offers, Raphinha will likely want to hear the opinion of the new Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick, before making any decisions. 

The forward has a contract with Barcelona until June 2027 and for now, his preference seems to lean towards staying with Barcelona.
