According to HITC, the former Leeds United fan favorite is open to returning to the Premier League.
The Catalans hope to sign Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams this summer after he impressed for Spain at the Euros.
Williams scored Spain’s opening goal in the final against England, capping off an excellent Euro 2024 campaign.
With the Spanish giants likely to use Williams on one wing and his Spain teammate Lamine Yamal on the other, Raphinha believes his playing time will be restricted, and he will have to leave the club to obtain more possibilities to play.
A number of Premier League clubs are looking to sign the Brazilian international.
According to the article, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United have all expressed interest in the right-winger’s potential transfer.
The La Liga club would expect roughly £50 million for the pacey winger, who formerly played in the Premier League for Leeds United.
Despite Saudi Arabia’s interest, the footballer prefers to play in England and hopes to return to the Premier League.
Raphinha would be an ideal addition for Newcastle United
Newcastle would be a perfect destination for Raphinha because the Magpies are looking to add a right-winger to their assault, and the Barcelona star would slot right in.
Eddie Howe is looking to trade Miguel Almiron this summer, and acquiring Raphinha would be a significant upgrade over the current Newcastle player.
This summer, the Magpies have added Lloyd Kelly, John Ruddy, and Odysseas Vlachodimos, and they intend to continue investing to address other concerns in their roster.
