Barcelona has set the Director Sporting Deco “mission impossible” with 50 days to go in the transfer market
Barcelona need to sell players this summer if they even want to think about strengthening their squad in a significant way, but their central problem is that they do not have a match between the interest in the players who are willing to sell, and the interest you would have. convince them to leave. The Deco Sports Directorate has been tasked with closing that gap, with 50 days remaining in the transfer market.
With Frenkie de Jong decided to stayand Barcelona no offers for Ronald Araujo, The other key name that the Blaugrana are willing to sell is Raphinha. The Brazilian is determined to stay, despite Lamine Yamal pushing him away from his favored position, and has told Deco that he has no intention of leaving the club. Raphinha also wants to be at Barcelona when they fight for a place at the 2026 World Cup in the Brazilian team.

All the same, it would be one of the most lucrative sales the club could make. Saudi Arabia is interested, and they are willing to offer 80-100 million euros for him, while at least doubling Raphinha's salary. Neymar Junior's Al-Hilal is paying more attention to him. Sport term is “mission impossible”, but the hierarchy of Barcelona has set Deco the task of convincing his former client (from his agent days) Raphinha to leave, and thus allows him to go after the two signings who wanted to strengthen.
Once there was a lot of noise generated around the signings for Barcelona, but once again, they seem to be victims of their previous activity. Spending big on Raphinha without him being a guaranteed starter, failing to negotiate a new contract with Araujo, and giving De Jong a big deal to extend his contract are all problems that have dogged him so far this transfer window. transfer
