"Arsenal are reportedly interested in the Barcelona attacker Raphinha. The 29-year-old has been one of the best players in the world since joining, with 18 goal contributions this season. According to Fichajes, Arsenal have long admired the player and are prepared to reignite their interest in the attacker. Mikel Arteta has tried to sign the player in the past. However, Barcelona does not plan to lose him anytime soon."
"They will only sanction his departure if his 1 billion release clause is paid. The report further claims that he is likely to be the club's captain next season. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Arsenal need more quality and depth on the flanks. They need someone who can create opportunities in the final third and add unpredictability to the attack."
"They signed players like Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, but they have not lived up to expectations. Raphinha would be a definite upgrade on the two players. However, the deal is highly unlikely. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal decide to move on to other options now. The player is reportedly happy and content at Barcelona and has no desire to leave the club."
Arsenal have shown interest in Barcelona winger Raphinha, who has contributed 18 goals/assists this season and is regarded among the club's top performers. Mikel Arteta previously pursued the player, but Barcelona will only permit a sale if his 1 billion release clause is met. The club views Raphinha as a likely captain next season, and the player is reportedly happy to remain. Arsenal require greater quality and depth on the flanks after Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke underperformed. Raphinha would represent an upgrade and Premier League experience, but the transfer is widely seen as highly unlikely.
