Barcelona sell Raphinha, buy star for 90 million euros?

The reigning La Liga champions are planning two bold deals in the next summer transfer window.

Raphinha could be for sale.

According to AS , Raphinha is said to be receiving huge offers from Saudi Arabian clubs with a fee that could exceed 100 million euros. In a tight financial context, Barcelona's board sees this as a golden opportunity to free up the wage bill and make one of the biggest deals of the summer: recruiting Kenan Yildiz from Juventus.

Raphinha is starting to consider the possibility of leaving Camp Nou. Although he has shown consistent performance, the pressure from attractive offers in the Middle East is huge. If this deal comes true, Barcelona will not only collect the second highest transfer fee in history, only behind Neymar, but also be able to reinvest immediately in the squad, especially in attack.

Meanwhile, Kenan Yildiz has made a strong impression in Serie A. The 20-year-old is considered the new star of European football, possessing technique, speed and a variety of playing abilities, qualities perfect for the "Blaugrana" control style of play. This season, Yildiz has contributed to 6 goals in 8 appearances for the Turin club.

However, Juventus have no intention of letting this young star go easily. The Turin team is said to only accept negotiations if they receive an offer of around 90 million euros. That means Barcelona will have to act cleverly, selling Raphinha early to have suitable financial resources.
