Barça accelerates to finalize the signing of Raphinha

Waiting for concretising the sales of 49,9% of BLM and until 25% of the television rights to obtain economic muscle and like this confront the market of signings with optimism, the FC Barcelona works to have 'to shot' to the players that Xavi Hernández has asked of face to the season 2022-2023. The names of Robert Lewandowski (Bayern of Munich), Jules Koundé (Seville) and Raphinha (Leeds United) are the first in the Barcelona diary and will advance in brief.

Regarding the Brazilian attacker, the tranquility has installed in the Barça after the call of Joan Laporta to the player, in which it promised him that the club would have economic capacity to concretise his traspaso this summer, although it has trascended that the blaugrana do not want to pay the 50 million euros that asks the Leeds United to leave it leave this summer and will plant in the 40M.

The intention of the Barça is to begin to negotiate, of formal way, in brief with the English picture. 'SPORT' Has informed that it foresees that Mateu Alemany, director of football blaugrana, and company displace in the next days to Leeds to gather with the leaders of the team of the Elland Road and look for a formula hit that it allow to recess the available price and that the operation can concretise shortly after 1 July.

No descarta, in this sense, that from the City Condal can offer some player of the current staff for abaratar the costs of the operation, but for the moment has not trascended some name in the diary of the Leeds. What himself is sure is that the Barça presionará so that the traspaso was 'ensured' and scare, definitively, to the different clubs that have interested in the player of 25 years.

The will of Raphinha, key

The Brazilian attacker has showed interest in adding to the rows of the Barça since his agent, Deco, put the option on the table. Raphinha Has left to know to teams like the Liverpool or Arsenal that his priority is to play in the Camp Nou and has presionado at all times so that the Leeds access to sell it with a price reduced, remembering that in principle the English even asked until 70 millions for his traspaso this summer.

Now all depend of the meeting between both clubs and the -constant- pressure of a Deco that wants to see to his represented dress of Barcelona from the next season. From the Barça trust that the negotiations will arrive to good port and that the Leeds will attend to the wish of the player to leave it go out this summer without putting a lot of fetters in his available price.
