The last strategy of the Barça with Rafinha Alcántara: Renewal and cession?

After a summer of a lot of movement in the offices of the Camp Nou, the staff of the FC Barcelona 2018-19 is practically enclosed, although it remains for resolving the future of Rafinha Alcántara. The Brazilian has three open fronts a short hours of the closing of the market of signings, and after the last conversations between clubs could have a change of strategy of the culés.

The Catalans do not have any haste with the midfield player, because they know that if it does not finish leaving, will be a reinforcement of level, that besides fits in the plans of Ernesto Valverde. This has allowed them negotiate with more calm with Benfica and Real Betis, the two applicants that will try to convince to the footballer on the horn.

The problem is that any of the two fulfils with the requirements of the Barcelona, that demand a minimum of 30 million euros to leave leave to the canterano. To these heights, the Portuguese have not stepped forward, and the Andalusians are limited by his own budget. Although a loan would be an alternative, do not want to tie to an option of compulsory purchase for the next window estival.

Like this, in the research of solutions would have found another way, that would go through to modify the links of the young and lengthen it before leaving him go out. Rafinha Finish agreement in 2020, and the intention would be to renew him and send him yielded. Of this form would ensure fewer problems with a possible sale and could recover him in a year.

What is for checking is if the Brazilian is had to accept this option, that would subtract him something of freedom to the hour to decide. If it approaches the end of his agreement, the crack will have more margin for presionar so much to the Barça as to a possible buyer, but if signature, will depend on an agreement between all the parts.

To Rafinha complicates him the season 2018-19

For the moment, what already is a fact is that to Rafinha has complicated him the start of season, because if it confirms his mudanza, will do it without having adapted neither to the Benfica neither to the Betis. In case to go out will have to work hard to do with a place, something that equally will have to do in the Barça if it wants to 'destronar' to any of the fixed of Ernesto Valverde. Even so, it is qualified to do it, and does not have fear to the challenge.
