FC Barcelona are keen to sell Raphinha for 'lack of professionalism and camaraderie' following a poor performance against Real Madrid in the Clasico on Wednesday, El Nacional reported.
The Brazilian was knocked out after 66 minutes in a 0-4 semi-final second leg loss to the Catalan side's bitter rivals, knocking them out of the Copa del Rey and ending any hope of resolving the issue. domestic.
Raphinha started the game with confidence after a string of recent impressive performances. On the right flank, however, he frequently failed to get past interim left-back Eduardo Camavinga and was named by SPORT as one of the culprits in Barca's heaviest home defeat to Los Blancos in 60 years. get them out of the national cup. 4. -1 final.
SPORT has argued that a Barca striker 'must contribute more in a life-or-death El Clasico', but it's not just his poor performance in the last four clashes that has prompted president Joan Laporta 26 year old player for sale. according to El Nacional. The Catalan newspaper reports that Raphinha's fury when she exploded against Manchester United has not been forgotten.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Raphinha injured her leg while kicking a beverage fridge during a match and was later ignored by coach Xavi Hernandez.
However, instead of punishing the winger by temporarily ceding him to Ferran Torres, Xavi persisted with Raphinha and gave her a chance to prove herself.
He has done it to some extent against weaker opponents, but his display at the Camp Nou this week has led many fans to assume that Raphinha is not at Barca's level and neither is he. worthy of the £49m (61m) transfer fee paid to Leeds United for his services last summer.
El Nacional reported that the club 'was clear' that Raphinha 'will never succeed' in Catalonia, meaning 'the best thing is to get rid of him'. The player has a Premier League market between Chelsea, Newcastle United and Raphinha. If either side offers a price close to 50 million euros ($54.5 million), Raphinha will pack up after just one season in La Liga.
Selling Raphinha will help Barca solve the most urgent financial problem when they need to cut 200 million euros ($218 million) from their salary bill before 2022/2023.
However, as was clearly seen in the shock defeat last night, Barca are short of personnel and could be depressed if players like Ousmane Dembele get injured.
Ultimately, Barca may want to use the money from the potential sale of Raphinha to select Vitor Roque, the star of Athletico Paranaense in Raphinha's hometown.
