Barcelona fear mammoth Saudi offers for in-form €60m star attacker – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have been blessed with one of the best attacks in Europe this season. Hansi Flick has brought the best out of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal as a trio so far this campaign across all competitions.

Among the three, Raphinha has turned his situation around at the club. He looks unstoppable so far this season and has carried his good form onto the international stage, scoring a stunning free-kick goal for Brazil a couple of days ago.

The 27-year-old struggled to adapt in his first couple of seasons at Barcelona. There were signs of improvement in the second half of the last campaign when Xavi Hernandez finally understood how to use him in his system.

Hansi Flick has unlocked Raphinha though and given him all the freedom in the world on the pitch. The Brazilian occupies positions that are almost impossible to mark and has been chipping in with goals and assists for fun this season.

Now, as per Fichajes, Barcelona are fearing a mammoth Saudi offer for the in-form €60m-rated Brazilian attacker. Raphinha’s form has been on par with some of the very best in the world and the SPL clubs could try and sign him next summer.

In football, it is often beautiful to see how tables turn. There was a point when Barcelona were trying to ship Raphinha off and he has now transformed into their most important player this season alongside Lamine Yamal.

Ultimately, Raphinha has always shown his loyalty to Barcelona. He did not leave the club when the chips were down and it is highly unlikely that he will want to leave the club when he is playing the best football in his life.

It has taken some time to realize this but Barcelona are lucky to have Raphinha in their mix. One can only hope that his performances continue on a similar note for a long time and let’s wait and see how it plays out.
