Arsenal continues to explore options to bolster its attacking power, with Barcelona's Raphinha now on their radar.
Details: According to Fichajes, the London club is seriously considering a move for the 27-year-old Brazilian. The Gunners are reportedly prepared to offer €90 million for the attacking player.
It’s noted that an offer of €90 million would be difficult for Barcelona to turn down, as the club continues to face financial struggles. A potential sale of Raphinha could help alleviate some of Barcelona's financial issues.
However, Blaugrana head coach Hansi Flick is reluctant to part with the player.
This move could mark Arsenal’s second record-breaking transfer after the €116.6 million paid to West Ham for Declan Rice.
Reminder: Since Flick’s arrival, Raphinha has become a key leader for the team. This season, the Brazilian winger has contributed 12 goals and 10 assists in 17 matches across all competitions.
