According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.
Newcastle
Slew United once again turn their sights on reinforcements to
Barcelona
Brazilian winger
Rafinha
The first is that Rafinha is not a member of Barcelona's team. However, Rafinha himself has no intention of leaving Barcelona.
Newcastle United had previously tried to sign Rafinha but failed. Now, they have once again shown strong interest. However, Rafinha only wants to stay at Barcelona and continue to have a place in manager Furyk's side.
While Barcelona have no doubts about Rafinha's ability, the club are also considering selling the player as he is one of the players who can bring in huge transfer fees for the club. Earlier, a Saudi team offered 65 million euros for Rafinha, but it was rejected by Barcelona. Barcelona spent €58 million plus a €7 million floating fee to sign Rafinha and they are hoping to make a profit from the deal.
Rafinha himself is adamant that he doesn't want to leave the club and believes he can play an important role in Furyk's side. Apart from Newcastle United, Arsenal have also shown interest in the Brazilian winger.
For now, Rafinha's destination remains a hot topic. Barcelona are evaluating the options while weighing the overall squad and financial situation of the team. Fans will be keeping a close eye on the developments in anticipation of Rafinha's performance in the upcoming season. Regardless of the final outcome, the Brazilian winger will continue to show his talent and strength in the coming games.
