Raphinha, despite the 'top' level he is showing with FC Barcelona, continues to be a valuable option in terms of possible sales. However, this operation increasingly faces more obstacles that promise to complicate it a little more, at least for this summer
The FC Barcelona could confront a new and unexpected inconvenient if it wishes to negotiate the exit of Raphinha of the club during the next market estival. As it informs 'SPORT', the native of Carry Cheerful, has decided to continue this summer without hiring a representative that manage all the subjects related with his future in matter of signings. At present, it is the only player of the first team culé that does not have an agent.
It is necessary to remember that in the past, the exjugador of the Leeds United was represented by the company 'D20 Sports', which was property of Deco. Nevertheless, the company closed around the middle of 2023 so that Deco could initiate his adventure like sportive director of the Barcelona cast. Since, the '11' of the combined Catalan has not looked for a new agency of representation, in spite of having options like Pini Zahavi and his agency 'Goal International', that already represents to other footballers culés like Robert Lewandowski and the canterano Dani Rodríguez.
Why the not having representative complicates a possible exit of Raphinha of the FC Barcelona this summer?
This situation represents a small problem for the FC Barcelona, since to the Raphinha not having external advice, the club would have to negotiate directly with the extreme, which complicates considerably the operation. In this type of cases, the representative is used to to act like intermediary and even like element persuasivo. In absence of a speaker, the Barcelona picture would have to try convince to the gaucho that it accept a good offer by him. However, this seems quite complicated, considering the happy that is the left-handed and his familiar surroundings in the City Condal.
It costs to mention that, although 'Rapha' has gone back to an excellent sportive level in the last days and has showed like a valuable alternative in the front of attack culé, also is one of the players more codiciados by other clubs. His value of market is quite attractive (50 M€), but expects that the FC Barcelona ask by him an a lot greater figure, since it has given to know that they will not accept less than 70 million euros by the exjugador of the Vitória of Guimarãis.
