The manager of Al-Hilal desperate to convince Raphinha to leave Barcelona for 90 million euros
Barcelona winger Raphinha has had a tough time since arriving in Catalonia, and despite a productive season this time around, he has lost his preferred position on the right to Lamine Yamal. The Brazilian also remains one of the clear contenders to be sold in the eyes of the fans, and possibly the club.
According to MD, Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal will do everything they can to persuade Raphinha to leave Barcelona. Manager Jorge Jesus is keen to join Raphinha with compatriots Malcom and Neymar Junior, and has already contacted people close to him to try to convince them to agree to a move.
Raphinha He would earn significantly more than he has so far in his career, and he could establish his family for generations, and with this Jesus will lead his arguments. Barcelona do not want to discuss with Al-Hilal for now, and will only do so if they can reach an agreement with the player. If they can change Raphinha's mind, then they will ask €90m for his signature, which MD says won't be a problem.

It will be allowed Barcelona to go for a more natural left winger, with Nico Williams and Luis Diaz reported as their two main targets. The latter is thought to be the favorite of the Director Sporting Deco, and he is already aware that his “dream move” to Barcelona will only happen if Raphinha leaves.
Raphinha has not hired an agent since Deco left him to take the role at Barcelona, making the task that much more difficult. Given that he waited several weeks, and refused more lucrative offers to join Barcelona, and his constant statements that he has a contract at the club, it seems that Jesus has his work.
