Manchester United will have to pay €60 million for Raphinha, as they target the Brazilian as an option to replace Marcus Rashford.
According to Fichajes, Manchester United must pay at least €60 million to sign Raphinha in the summer. The Barcelona attacker has been shining for the club in the latter parts of the season. Still, their financial conditions might make them consider a sale, as the Red Devils consider the Brazilian as a replacement option for Marcus Rashford.
Manchester United must pay €60 million for Raphinha
All eyes will be on Barcelona and some of their notable stars during the summer window, as the club is facing financial uncertainties. To balance their books, the Catalans may have to sell some of their players, including Raphinha, who is set to cost at least €60 million.
Manchester United have been interested alongside many other Premier League rivals for the former Leeds United star. The 27-year-old Barcelona attacker has been in some good form in the latter part of the season after Xavi Hernandez tended to pick youngster Lamine Yamal in his place in the earlier parts of the campaign.
While Raphinha seems uninterested in leaving Barcelona, the club may have to force the decision on the Brazilian winger to raise funds for new signings and balance their books. There’s also interest from Saudi side Al-Hilal in the Brazilian winger, but a move back to the Premier League would make sporting sense at this stage of his career.
Manchester United are keen on new attacking signings, as they anticipate some key sales like that of Antony and Jadon Sancho. However, the idea of Raphinha stemmed from the possibility of Marcus Rashford’s departure from the club, as the Brazilian is seen as an option to replace the England international.
Marcus Rashford to leave Manchester United?
Many rumours surrounding Manchester United insist the club are considering sales of most players in the summer. They could sell Rashford for the right price, although they will want the player to declare his desire to depart first.
In the event of Rashford leaving, Manchester United are considering several options, including the 27-year-old Barcelona attacker Raphinha. Others include Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, with either set to cost much more than the €60 million Raphinha might reportedly cost.
