RAPHINHA, READY TO PLAY
Raphinha 'returns' to Barça with his future in the air
In the absence of confirmation and the green light from FC Barcelona's medical services, Raphinha is ready to return to the ring. He will do it at his most 'complicated' moment and with the need to take a step forward to stay in the Barça team.
Raphinha Can be one of the good news of the FC Barcelona of this weekend. Everything seems to indicate to that will receive the high doctor after suffering a muscular injury in the biceps femoral of the left thigh the past 11 January in the dispute of the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain, against Osasuna. It is calling to be the big 'signing' for the attack of Xavi Hernández.
His turn to the announcements will coincide with the increase of the rumours on the possibility that the group blaugrana decide to put him in the market of signings estival. It is not a secret for anybody that, of face to the month of July, for the Barça results vital to complete the sale of a footballer and the name of Raphinha is in the quinielas. His exit, in any case, would be more than complicated.
Raphinha Will have to win a place
In any case, Raphinha will return to the action with spirits to redeem . In his absence, Lamine Yamal has stepped forward, until the point to turn into one of the 'indisputable' of the XI of Xavi. Of face to the crash against the Granada, this Sunday from the 21:00 hours (9:00 PM CET), the forecast is that the juvenile go back to be headline. Against the nazaríes marked his first goal like Barcelona, in the tie 2-2 of the month of October. His 'growth' leave to the in a second flat Brazilian.
Although the confidence of Xavi in the ex of the Leeds United has been total, since it landed in the summer of 2022, his disequilibrium and speed follow without being determinants in the game of the Barça. It has not turned into the extreme that the blaugrana need, but always leaves the feeling that something can happen. It is an important resource for the attack of the team, but in front of the new role of Lamine it will be necessary to see which paper awards him the trainer.
Raphinha Would be a sale complicated for the Barça
In any case, is a moment so that Raphinha of a step forward and can show his value, because in summer his continuity in the City Condal could complicate more than the account. His agreement wins in 2027 and has not amortised his traspaso from the Leeds in 2022, that reached the 58 million euros. The only road to sell it and that do not generate losses is to surpass that mount. And, as it is now, it does not seem that some team can offer it... At least in Europe.
