200 million euros! Barcelona is making crazy money, selling three stars in the summer window, and the Saudi giants will take all the orders?
According to the latest news brought by Spanish media Daily Sport, La Liga giants Barcelona are currently planning a transfer for this summer. The top management hopes to get close to 200 million euros by selling some of the players. With the exception of a small portion of the money used to ease the finances and keep the club running, most of the money will be used to buy new players. The team has found a midfielder and a winger in the transfer market, and Barcelona want to raise funds first.
It is reported that Barcelona are considering selling three players, and now they have identified two. The Red and Blues are ready to put Andreas Christensen, Raphinha and another centre-back on the shelf. This is one of the few players they can sell for a price at the moment. In addition to a central defender who has not yet been decided, Andreas Christensen and Raphinha are set to leave Barcelona this summer. Needless to say, Christensen's recent poor form has also become a fringe player at Barcelona. In the absence of Harvey's attention, he himself also wanted to leave the team. Barcelona want to make a fortune on him.
In addition to this, the central figure of this summer's sale is, of course, Raphinha. Because he is the most sellable player at this stage. Barcelona want to recoup more than 100 million euros or so from the winger. Now there are indeed teams willing to give Barcelona this money. Perhaps there are few teams willing to spend 100 million euros on Raphinha in the top five leagues, but the emergence of the Saudi league has given Barcelona this opportunity. According to the Daily Sports Daily, the Saudi league team Riyadh Crescent contacted Barcelona some time ago, hoping to sign 1~2 players with strength and a certain reputation from the team.
The first target that Barcelona recommended to them was Raphinha, with an initial price of 100 million euros. Riyadh Crescent is willing to spend the money to sign the Brazilian winger. For the Barça hierarchy, this is what they want to see. In fact, Raphinha's data in Barcelona at this stage is quite good, and the player may not be suitable for Barcelona's tactical system, but he still has a certain strength. And he is still very young, and there is still a lot of potential in the future. In addition, the players have strong immediate combat power at this stage, which is also in line with the requirements of Riyadh Crescent.
As the most valued giant team in the Saudi league, the Crescent Moon has been tilted by the league in all aspects of their resources. Especially in the transfer market, Crescent can be selected from the five major leagues at will. It is necessary to have immediate combat power, but also to be famous. And now they are in the mood for Raphinha, hoping to improve the team's attacking ability on the wings. 100 million euros is nothing to them. But for Barcelona, selling Raphinha for 100 million euros first will make this summer's transfer work extremely easy. With just a few more players to raise €200 million, Barcelona can make a big splash in the summer transfer window.
The team has gradually recovered from previous seasons of tightening. If we can successfully raise enough money to bring in new players this summer, the overall strength of the team will be greatly improved. Considering that Real Madrid next door is currently frantically recruiting, if Barcelona does not take some decisive countermeasures, it will be opened up by the century-old enemy in the future. This is clearly something that the Barça hierarchy and the fans do not want to see. Interestingly, the Brazilian winger Raphinha is also very willing to join the Saudi league. Because in his opinion, the current five major leagues do not have a good way out for the time being, and it may be a good choice to play in the Saudi league for a season or two to earn a lot of money, and then return to Europe.
After all, a right winger like him has a lot of superstars in the same position in European football. The positions of the giants are basically saturated, and it is unrealistic to want to join a better team. According to the feedback in the transfer market so far, Crescent has basically locked in Raphinha, and they will pay 100 million euros next. So in your opinion, if Barcelona are really ready to sign in the summer, who will they sign?
