Paris Saint-Germain continues its pursuit of one of the most prominent players in Barcelona’s first football team this season.
Barcelona leads La Liga with 27 points after 10 matches, having won 9 and lost 1.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, it seems that Luis Enrique is determined to sign Rafinha for Paris Saint-Germain, as the coach shows great admiration for the Brazilian and considers him the ideal addition to strengthen the team’s attack.
After a strong start to the season with Barcelona, Rafinha has become one of the most sought-after players in the European market, and Enrique did not hesitate to contact Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of the Parisian club, to express his interest.
The Paris Saint-Germain coach is aware that this deal will not be easy, especially since Joan Laporta and the Barcelona board of directors consider Rafinha non-transferable.
Since joining the club, the Brazilian has proven to be a key player capable of changing the course of a match thanks to his speed, dribbling skills, and ability to score goals.
The newspaper added that Enrique asked Al-Khelaifi to increase the initial offer and present an attractive contract to convince both clubs and the player. Although Rafinha feels comfortable at Barcelona, the financial temptations offered by the Parisian club may be very enticing.
Rafinha is happy with his role in Flick’s team, where he has played a pivotal role in the early stages of the season. However, if Paris Saint-Germain makes an attractive offer whether in terms of salary or the sporting project the situation may change unexpectedly.
For Laporta, allowing Rafinha to leave would be a severe blow, especially if he moved to a club like Paris Saint-Germain, which has previously witnessed “betrayals” from key players at Barcelona.
For now, Luis Enrique continues to press, and Al-Khelaifi may raise his offer at any moment, while Rafinha’s future at Barcelona remains a topic of controversy and concern.
The next transfer window will be crucial in determining whether the Brazilian will remain at the Blaugrana or finally respond to the temptations of Paris Saint-Germain.
The French team has a history of making huge deals and is ready to do everything possible to secure the Brazilian’s services.
