Arsenal are willing to submit an offer for the €50m La Liga star who had 23-G/A last season
Barcelona midfielder Raphinha is set to leave the club this summer and Arsenal are keen to offer him a way out.
Arsenal are keen on the 27-year-old Brazilian and a report from Spanish publication SPORT claims they would be willing to make a huge offer for the player. Barcelona are asking €50 million for him and it will be interesting to see if Barcelona are ready to break the bank.
It's no secret that Arsenal need more quality in wide areas. Mikel Arteta could not rotate players like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka more often due to lack of squad. Signing another player would be great.
Raphinha has proven his quality in La Liga and was excellent for Leeds United in the Premier League before that. It could be argued that the 27-year-old played his best football in the Premier League with Leeds and a return to England would be good for him. It will help him regain his top form.
Barcelona are facing financial problems and it would not be surprising if they decide to pay more players this summer. If Arsenal are willing to pay the 50 million euros they are asking for the South American attacker, it is fair to assume that a deal will eventually be reached.
The signing of Raphinha will help Arsenal
In addition, Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world and will be an attractive destination for many players. They will give the Brazilian defender a chance to push for big trophies in the coming seasons.
Arsenal missed out on the league title last season and will be looking to go all the way this time. Players like Raphinha can make a big difference in the final third for them. The Brazilian scored 10 goals and 13 assists in all competitions last season.
