Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 28-year-old Barcelona attacker Raphinha in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United have tabled an offer of around €70 million to sign 28-year-old Barcelona attacker Raphinha. The Brazilian international has been one of the best players in the world this season, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Manchester United.
The former Leeds United attacker has a whopping 27 goals and 21 assists in all competitions. He could transform Manchester United in the final third if he joins the club. So, it is hardly surprising that the Red Devils are pushing for his signature.
The Red Devils allowed Antony and Marcus Rashford to leave on loan in the winter transfer window. The attacking duo has no future at Manchester United, and they are likely to be sold permanently in the summer. Manchester United could use the funds from their departures to get a deal done for the former Leeds United attacker.
Raphinha has shown his quality in England before, and he could be tempted to return to the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether Barcelona are prepared to accept their offer. The 28-year-old has been an important player for the Spanish club, and selling him could prove to be a mistake.
However, Barcelona are going through a financial crisis, and they could be attracted if a lucrative proposal is presented. Meanwhile, the €70 million offer might not be enough to sign a world-class player like him in the summer, and Manchester United might have to come up with a better offer in the coming weeks.
Manchester United need a game-changer like Raphinha
Manchester United have endured a disappointing season so far, and they will look to bounce back strongly next season. The Red Devils need quality players at their disposal and signing a world-class attacker like Raphinha could make a huge difference to them.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be quite attractive for most players. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the 28-year-old Barcelona star of their ambitions.
It has been a disappointing season for them so far, but they have a talented squad and a talented manager. Manchester United have an exciting project under Ruben Amorim, and they might be able to push for major trophies in the near future.
