Paris Saint-Germain continues its pursuit of stars, targeting one of Barcelona’s most important stars this season in order to strengthen its ranks to compete in Europe.
Barcelona started the season with a great start by achieving 7 consecutive victories, but the defeat against Osasuna was a warning bell for Hansi Flick and the Catalan team’s players.
According to information from the newspaper El Nacional, Paris Saint-Germain is seeking to sign the Barcelona star and the player of the season in the Catalan team so far, the distinguished Brazilian winger in Barcelona.
After a great start this season under the leadership of Hansi Flick, the player has attracted the attention of major clubs in Europe, and it seems that Paris Saint-Germain, headed by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, intends to submit a tempting offer of up to 60 million euros in the winter transfer market.
According to sources close to the Parisian club, Al-Khelaifi is seeking to strengthen his team to continue competing in the Champions League, and believes that Raphinha could be the ideal addition to enhance the quality of the team.
However, at Camp Nou, things are complicated. Despite the financial challenges the club has faced recently, Barcelona’s management, headed by Joan Laporta, refuses the idea of giving up Rafinha, who is considered a key element in Flick’s plan.
Despite the temptations of Paris’ offer, Barcelona has clear plans for Rafinha’s future, as he still has several years left on his contract, and there may be improvements in his salary terms to keep him with the team.
The newspaper concluded that Hansi Flick warned Laporta and Barcelona’s management against selling the player who could cause Barcelona’s season to collapse unexpectedly, given the great importance of the Brazilian player in Hansi Flick’s starting lineup.
