Manchester United is reportedly considering a bid for Barcelona’s Brazilian winger, Raphinha, as they look to offload Antony and potentially Jadon Sancho. Barcelona, needing to free up funds for new signings, has set a price of €60 million (£51m/$65m) for Raphinha. If United meets this figure, the winger could soon be joining them at Old Trafford.
Antony appears close to leaving for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, while Paris Saint-Germain is monitoring Sancho, further shaping United’s transfer plans.
Although Raphinha has been linked with a move to Al-Nassr, he prefers to stay at Barcelona, but the emergence of young talent Lamine Yamal could cast doubt on his future at the club.
Barcelona, meanwhile, is eyeing new recruits like Athletic Club’s Nico Williams and Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman, but they need to offload players like Raphinha first to finalize any moves.
As both clubs prepare for their upcoming season openers, the transfer story surrounding Raphinha remains in the spotlight.
Manchester United is reportedly considering a move for Barcelona’s Brazilian winger, Raphinha, as part of their strategy to offload current players like Antony and possibly Jadon Sancho. Barcelona has set a price tag of €60 million (£51m/$65m) for Raphinha, who has also been linked to a potential transfer to Al-Nassr. However, Raphinha prefers to stay at Barcelona, despite the competition for his position from emerging talent Lamine Yamal.
The possible departures of Antony, with a move to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr seeming imminent, and Sancho, who is being monitored by Paris Saint-Germain, could create space for Raphinha at Manchester United. This aligns with Barcelona’s need to sell players to raise funds for new signings like Athletic Club’s Nico Williams and Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman.
The situation is still evolving, and much of the transfer activity will depend on how both clubs proceed with their respective squad restructuring plans.
