Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Barcelona winger Raphinha in a €60 million deal this summer.
A report from Fichajes has claimed that Manchester United are prepared to spend €60 million to sign Brazilian international winger Raphinha from Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a move back to the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can get the deal done. It is no secret that the Red Devils need to bring in attacking reinforcements, and Raphinha could prove to be a quality addition.
The in-form Barcelona attacker is versatile enough to operate on both flanks, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. The Brazilian has played in the Premier League before with Leeds United, and he should be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact.
Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they could be attracted to the idea of selling Raphinha this summer. It would boost their transfer budget and allow them to strengthen the other areas of their squad.
Manchester United need to sign a quality winger
Manchester United have spent a substantial amount of money on players like Antony and Jadon Sancho in recent years. Both players have been quite underwhelming, and Manchester United need to bring in a world-class winger this summer.
The Barcelona star will add some much-needed cutting edge to their attack, and it remains to be seen whether they secure an agreement with Barcelona. Manchester United need attacking reinforcements if they want to compete for major trophies, and a quality winger will make a big difference for them next season.
It remains to be seen whether Raphinha is keen on a return to England this summer. The opportunity to join a big club like Manchester United can be quite attractive. The winger has nine goals and 12 assists to his name in all competitions this season.
Meanwhile, a €60 million fee might seem like a premium, but Manchester United have the resources to get the deal done. The Brazilian is at the peak of his powers, and he could justify the investment if he can hit the ground running if he returns to the Premier League.
