Press reports revealed today that one of the Barcelona first team players refused to leave the ranks of the Catalan team during the upcoming summer transfer period and insists on staying despite the historical offers he has received to leave.
Barça needs the departure of some players from the Catalan club’s first football team during the upcoming summer transfer period, in order for the team to be able to sign other players capable of making a difference within the ranks of the Catalan club during the coming period.
All matters regarding the deals are being discussed between the duo, Hansi Flick, the coach of the first football team of the Catalan club, and Deco, the team’s sporting director.
According to journalist Luis Miguel Sanz, the Saudi Professional Football League clubs may pay 100 million euros in exchange for Rafinha, but Deco, the team’s sporting director, stopped the player’s exit because he knows that the player’s intention is to remain with Barcelona and does not want to force him to leave.
He added: If Rafinha does not leave, the Catalan club will not be able to sign a major left winger in the next summer transfer period.
