While Barcelona has rising star Yamal, some believe that the
Sell Rafinha
is a viable option, especially if a concrete offer comes up. However, Rafinha's performances and commitment to the club towards the end of last season made a favorable impression on the hierarchy, which made the club more inclined to retain him.
Barcelona's financial strategy is also one of the factors driving the sale of Rafinha. The club is hoping to sign preferred target Nico Williams, for which it needs to raise funds. A move for Rafinha would provide Barca with such an opportunity, although the player himself is not willing to leave the Camp Nou.
Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Crescent have shown strong interest in Rafinha and are rumored to be willing to pay a transfer fee of up to €100 million. Barcelona have told Crescent boss Jesus that they will only consider releasing Rafinha if they receive a substantial offer.
Currently, Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, faces the difficult task of finding a balance between meeting the club's financial needs and respecting Rafinha's personal wishes.
