Barcelona football club will, without a doubt, remain hopeful of finishing in the top four of the La Liga table by the end of the 2021/2022 season.
After a dismal start to the season, the Camp Nou side has recently returned to winning ways and is currently in third place on the Spanish La Liga table.
And, following their 4-0 win over Osasuna on Sunday evening, Barcelona will now look to maintain their strong form and qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.However, when the summer transfer market opens, Barcelona will be looking for more attacking alternatives and have been linked with a move for Leeds United winger Raphinha.
The 25-year-old Brazilian international, who joined Leeds United in 2015 after leaving Rennes, has been a key member of the first-team squad in past seasons.
The seasoned right-winger had an interesting 2020/2021 season for Leeds United, scoring eight goals and assisting 11 times in 38 games across all competitions.
Raphinha has also been a key player for Leeds United so far in the 2021/2022 season, scoring nine goals and assisting three times in 28 appearances.His goal-scoring prowess has piqued Barcelona's interest, and according to recent claims from popular transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via his verified Twitter page, the La Liga giants are interested in signing him.
According to the rumors, Barcelona is very interested in Raphinha and is actively contemplating a transfer for him before the summer transfer market opens.
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is said to want to compete for titles next season, and he is interested in signing Raphinha to bolster his offensive options.However, it remains to be seen whether Barcelona will be able to pay the required transfer fee to secure Raphinha's signing from Leeds United this summer.
