Rafinha Alcántara conceded some statements that surprised in the last days, when remarking that still iene agreement with the FC Barcelona, and without descartar the possibility to continue in the staff to try win a place. The reality is that this option is tremendously complicated, and also risked for him given the situation that drags in the last years.
Rafinha Has suffered two injuries of long length that practically have prevented him play in two no consecutive seasons. When it has been smart to compete, neither can say that it have played with regularity in the Barça, although it has offered some good performances that have served to show his quality.
To his 26 years, and after having happened almost a whole season without playing by injury, face a new campaign without hardly minutes could be a too big risk for Rafinha Alcántara, whose value of market has seen reduced in the last times. If it remained stagnated in the Barça, explaining that it finish agreement in June of 2020... It would be able to receive afterwards satisfactory offers?
For now, the priority is to find him an exit that was positive for both parts, with which the FC Barcelona can ingresar something of money and that serve to Rafinha to have of minutes with regularity. It had spoken a lot of Valencia weeks backwards, but the negotiations cooled and to day of today seems complicated that the Hispanic-Brazilian can recalar in the picture 'ché'.
The Celtic of Vigo sounded like another option, but already has spent 13 million euros in the signing of Denis Suárez, and does not foresee that it go back to tackle an operation of similar calibrate this summer. Rafinha Alcántara, in definite, will have to follow evaluating which is the best option for his future, without descartar still that it can be still in the staff culé.
Competition tremenda for Rafinha in the Barça
But with the competition of Busquets, Rakitic, Of Jong, Arthur, Arturo Vidal, Aleñá and Coutinho... It would have it more than complicated to have of minutes with some regularity in the FC Barcelona. Another option would be to renew him and yield him to a club of LaLiga or the foreigner, a solution that will put on of the table if in the next days does not concretise a destination for the midfield player in shape of traspaso.
