Arsenal handed boost in signing Barcelona star

Raphinha back on Arsenal radar

Arsenal handed boost in signing Barcelona star

28 July 2024 - 20:22

Arsenal have been handed a boost in signing Barcelona winger Raphinha this summer, according to Spanish publication Sport.

  • Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Fulham, Delap & Estevao start
  • Chelsea block Nicolas Jackson loan exit after Liam Delap injury blow

  • The Gunners are currently on the verge of confirming the arrival of defender Riccardo Calafiori from Serie A side Bologna.

    A new midfielder and a winger are the next priorities for the club and Sport claim that Raphinha could re-emerge as a target.

    The Brazilian was on the Gunners' radar in the summer of 2022, but he opted to sign for Barcelona from Leeds United instead.

    He has been a key player for the past two seasons, but his time at the club is uncertain amid their pursuit of Nico Williams.

    Should Williams make the move, Raphinha's playing time could be further reduced and this could urge him to part ways.

    Sport claim that Arsenal could revive their interest in the attacker, who could be available for a fee of around €55m.

    The former Rennes man recently ruled out a move to Saudi Arabia, but he could be open to returning to English football.
