Reported on March 28, Barca president Laporta recently said that although the club's economy is still difficult, the club still needs to bring in at least 4 players for Xavi.
Although Barca's current financial situation is not good, but the reinforcement plan is still there, mainly free signing, such as Christensen and Casey, but what they want to spend money, such as Leeds United winger Rafinha, but the price Barça does not want to exceed 40 million euros, the actual price Barca can also be accepted.
But you know, this money was given to Messi at that time, Messi was willing to cut his salary sharply, even half of it, but Laporta still refused, so it seems that Barca was not without money at that time, but Laporta really did not want Messi, but he ran successfully in the name of Messi.
Spanish media "World Sports" revealed that Leeds United hopes to get Rafinha to leave for 50 million pounds. So at present, Barca and Rafinha need to negotiate with Leeds United, the player's contract expires in 2024, the penalty is 75 million euros, according to the well-known transfer expert Romano, Barca hopes to reduce the price to win Rafinha. Liverpool are also interested in him, so Barca cannot win Rafinha at a very low price.
