Jorge Jesus’ Al-Hilal continues on the market in search of new names to reinforce the squad. The ball of the time is the Brazilian Raphinha, currently in the Barcelona, which would have aroused the interest of the Arab club. The information is from the Spanish newspaper Sports world.
Although there is still no official proposal for either the Catalan team or the striker, Barça is aware of the interest that Saudi Arabian football has shown in the athlete.
As it needs to free up space in the financial Fair Play to register new reinforcements and hire more players, Barcelona would value the option and study a Brazilian exit. This is because, so far, the club has not been able to sell any of the players it has put on the market.
According to the publication, Al-Hilal would have liked to bring the Argentine Lionel Messi to compete both on and off the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo, who is at Al-Nassr. However, the formerPSG chose to sign with Inter Miami, from the MLS, and that made the Arab team look for new names in the market, like Raphinha.
Still according to the newspaper, Barcelona would already be waiting for an official offer from the team commanded by Jorge Jesus. Although Raphinha has said several times that he wants to remain at the Catalan club, neither party closes the door on a possible transfer.
Barcelona signed Raphinha from Leeds, England, closing a deal worth 58 million euros (R$ 312 million), with bonuses that could take the deal to 67 million euros (R$ 360 million).
Last season, the striker made 50 appearances, scored ten goals and provided 12 assists for the Catalan club.
