Raphinha, Barcelona's star, is being tempted by the Saudi club Al-Hilal, which is offering him substantial earnings. Will the Brazilian decide on the transfer?
Key information
- Al-Hilal is offering Barcelona 100 million euros for Raphinha.
- The Brazilian could earn 200 million euros over four years.
- The decision about the transfer rests with the player himself.
Raphinha, one of Barcelona's leading players, has become the focus of interest for the Saudi club Al-Hilal. Spanish media reports that the club from Saudi Arabia is ready to pay as much as 100 million euros for him.
Al-Hilal not only offers Barcelona a huge sum for the transfer but also proposes a contract for Raphinha until 2029. The Brazilian could earn 200 million euros, equating to 50 million euros annually.
Despite the attractive offer, Barcelona is keen to retain their player. Raphinha is a key player for the team, having scored 30 goals and provided 21 assists this season. The club is hopeful of his support in upcoming matches, including the final of the Spanish Cup against Real Madrid.
The decision belongs to Raphinha
The final decision regarding the transfer is in Raphinha's hands. His current contract with Barcelona expires in 2027, allowing him ample time to consider the offer.
Raphinha's future at Barcelona is uncertain. Will the Brazilian opt for a transfer to Al-Hilal, or will he remain in Europe to continue competing for more trophies with the "Pride of Catalonia"? Time will tell how his journey unfolds.
Barcelona is set to face Real Madrid in the Spanish Cup final on Saturday. The team will also compete in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Inter Milan.
