'Zero' – Fabrizio Romano shuts down exit talks for Barcelona star amid Premier League ties
Barcelona winger Raphinha has been almost constantly linked with a move away from the club over the past year, but so far, the Brazilian remains committed to staying at the club.
Saudi Arabia has been a consistent theme to those links, as an entity that can afford a large expenditure, and following the same thread, this week interest from Newcastle United leaked to the media. However Fabrizio Romano said The Daily Briefing that he has “zero information about Raphinha being linked to Premier League sides”. He also referred to a post by Raphinha this week that he was looking forward to a third season at Barcelona.

A Brazilian much more likely to leave is Vitor Roque: the 19-year-old's future this summer depends on Barcelona's fair play financial situation, but there are no ongoing discussions for him.
In theory, Raphinha he is one of Barcelona's most valuable assets on the market, but in addition to a lack of offers, he has yet to sign a new agent since Deco left him to become their Sporting Director. It makes any move that much harder to make without damaging Raphinha's ego, but potentially having him in the squad next season.
