Raphinha Transfer from FC Barcelona to Manchester United

Xavi has informed Manchester United that in the event he replaces Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, he would like to bring Raphinha from Barcelona to the team. Xavi has expressed a desire for the 27-year-old to be signed should he take on the managerial role at Man Utd, identifying the winger as a crucial addition to strengthen the Premier League team's attack. Barcelona is seeking around €100m for the former Leeds player. Raphinha's Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at just €38.6m, indicating that if Xavi's desire is to be fulfilled at Man Utd, the club will need to have strong faith in the coach's judgement. It is uncertain whether Man Utd would spend €100m on him due to Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Xavi, who is being considered for the Manchester United manager position, reportedly has an interest in signing Raphinha as his first acquisition at Old Trafford. It is understood that Xavi is familiar with Raphinha from his tenure at Barcelona and believes that the Brazilian winger could strengthen United's attack. Raphinha has been performing exceptionally well, having scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 13 matches this season. Manchester United will face competition from Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr in their pursuit of Raphinha. Barcelona has reportedly set a price tag of €100 million for the Brazilian player.

According to reports, former Barcelona manager Xavi has expressed interest in the potential transfer of Brazilian winger Raphinha from Barcelona, should he succeed Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager. Sources indicate that Xavi is eager to have Raphinha join Man Utd if he assumes the managerial role at Old Trafford, as reported by the Spanish outlet Fichajes. The report highlights that acquiring Raphinha for the Red Devils is a significant condition for Xavi as he considers the job offer. It is suggested that Barcelona could demand up to €100m for Raphinha, posing a substantial challenge for United to finalize the deal.

Xavi Hernández has made a significant request to Manchester United as a prerequisite for replacing Erik Ten Hag: the signing of Raphinha. The Brazilian winger is considered crucial for strengthening the English team's attacking lineup if Xavi decides to accept the challenge at Old Trafford. Raphinha is enjoying an impressive start to the season under Hansi Flick at Barcelona, having scored six goals and provided eight assists in twelve matches. Barcelona is open to letting him leave for an offer nearing 100 million euros.

Manchester United are interested in signing Raphinha this summer. Raphinha is eager to stay at Camp Nou, but Barcelona are open to a sale to generate money following the €55 million purchase of RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Dani Olmo. Barcelona are open to letting Raphinha leave and any offer over €60m will be accepted. Manchester United have re-entered the race to sign him as they are reportedly ready to sell Antony and Jadon Sancho could leave on a permanent deal.

Barcelona winger Raphinha is keen to return to the Premier League. Manchester United have been offered his services.

Barcelona have turned down a €60 million offer for winger Raphinha from a Premier League club, with Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester United all interested in the Brazil international. Raphinha was left on the bench on Sunday as Barca rounded off their LaLiga season with a 2-1 win over Sevilla in what was Xavi’s final match in charge of the club. He played 37 times this season, scoring 10 goals and creating 13 more. The 27-year-old was notably used in Barca’s clutch matches, scoring three times in two games against PSG in the Champions League and producing an assist in the most recent Clasico. Barcelona’s financial position, though, means that he could potentially be sold in the summer. TodoFichajes reports that the Blaugrana have fielded a €60m bid from the Premier League for Raphinha, yet it has been turned down because it does not match the club’s asking price of €80m. Retaining the player is said to be a “priority” for incoming manager Hansi Flick. Although the identity of the club to be knocked back is unclear, Aston Villa and Chelsea are the two teams said to be “fishing” for Raphinha, with Manchester United “drifting” as they continue to “lack a clear roadmap” for the summer.

Raphinha could be offered as a part of the deal for Sancho. Raphinha’s wages and inconsistent displays have also made him a target to be sold by Barca and United are said to have a long-standing interest in the 27-year-old.
