Key Barcelona star ‘continues to be tempted’ by a move to Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

La Liga champions Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the future of attacking standout Raphinha with a view to next season.

This comes amid the understanding that the Brazilian is an ongoing transfer target on the part of several Saudi Pro League clubs.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, the Camp Nou brass are on high alert, in case ‘Raphinha decides to leave in the summer’.

‘Saudi Arabia,’ it is added, ‘continues to be a tempting destination’.

Turning focus back towards matters on the pitch, Raphinha is for his part of course currently working towards reestablishing himself in manager Hansi Flick’s first-choice XI.

Fresh off a two-month spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, the former Leeds United man has featured off the bench in Barca’s last two outings.

He could in turn be in from the off on Saturday, when the Blaugrana play host to Deportivo Alavés in La Liga.
