Raphinha has always piqued Manchester United’s interest, and new rumors suggest they are getting closer to signing him.
Sport first reported in December of last year that Man Utd made a trade offer to Sancho in an attempt to entice the Brazilian forward from Barcelona.
But the Catalan powerhouses rejected the trade and have been demanding £78.6 million ($100 million) in exchange for the South American.
According to the most recent media sources, Raphinha would be permitted to depart from the Blaugrana during the summer.
According to a Spanish source, Todo Fichajes, a former Leeds United player, will be the first to leave the Nou Camp team during the upcoming transfer season. Paolo Dybala is being considered as a possible replacement for Fichajes.
The 27-year-old winger was a big hit at Elland Road and a vital part of Xavi’s team that won La Liga the previous season.
Raphinha has not been able to start consistently this term. He has only made 12 starts in the league so far, but he has already helped to directly contribute 11 goals (4 goals and 7 assists).
In all fairness, Man United ought to swap out the wealthy washout at Old Trafford, Antony, for his fellow countryman, given his statistical superiority.
Should Manchester United spend £78.6 million to sign Raphinha from Barcelona is the subject at hand.
