Barcelona has set ambitious goals this June, and within the club and around it, they are not giving up on the notion that it is possible to acquire both Nico Williams and Dani Olmo, provided that RB Leipzig makes serious compromises and accommodates the Catalans regarding the deferment of compensation payments. However, to achieve this, Barca would also need to generate significant revenue from player sales. One of the players who is in demand and whom the club would be willing to part with for adequate compensation is the Brazilian, Raphinha (27). And all of a sudden a real, serious offer has come in – as if it fell from the sky. According to Mundo Deportivo, late last night, a proposal from a club in Saudi Arabia arrived at the club’s offices, offering a whole 65,000,000 million euros.🚨 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐃💰 ¡Ofertón de 65 millones de euros por Raphinha!📌 Al Barça ha llegado una oferta de un club saudí📌 El Arsenal también está atento a su situación📌 El jugador no quiere irse pero en el Barcelona no se descarta que varíe su postura si ve que se ficha… pic.twitter.com/nIuG732623— Mundo Deportivo (@mundodeportivo) July 28, 2024 The Catalan newspaper writes that Barcelona highly values their winger and that his good image maintains a high price and makes him sought after, but that the amount that arrived at Nou Camp is considered low. Nevertheless, considering the benefits that such a financial injection would bring to the club, it is not excluded that negotiations with the Saudis could soon take place. It has been known for some time that Al Hilal inquired about Raphinha, and Jorge Jesus even personally spoke with Joan Laporta. However, at that time, Barcelona’s stance was that the player was not for sale, and that discussions could only be considered if the offer was in the region of 90,000,000. Additionally, Laporta stated that the player himself would also need to be convinced.Barca’s official offer for Olmo made Leipzig burst into laughterWhether anything has changed in the meantime, Mundo Deportivo does not provide a clear answer, but emphasizes that Barcelona has only earned 18,000,000 from outgoing transfers so far. If Flick and Laporta truly want Nico and Olmo, they will have to sell some significant players for a large amount of money. However, as for the player himself, his opinion about leaving has not changed, and he should be persuaded to leave.Barca will have to hurry up – PSG ready to splash out what’s needed for NicoApart from the offer from the Middle East, Barcelona might soon be contacted by Arsenal, according to the Daily Mirror. Mikel Arteta, however, would not go with an offer higher than 50,000,000, although London would certainly be a more interesting destination for Raphinha if the club decides to sell him. Chelsea also appears as an option, but there is a reason why the Gunners are in the lead. Edu Gaspar, Arsenal’s sporting director, fought for Raphinha two years ago when he went to Barcelona. The two are in contact. Apparently, Gaspar is now tempting him by promising a significant place in the team and the number ten shirt. To be competitive in the race for Raphinha, Arsenal would first need to sell Emile Smith Rowe, for whom Fulham has shown interest.##NAJAVA_MECA_8235002##
