‘We are extremely blessed’ – Raphinha’s wife dismisses rumors surrounding Barcelona forward | OneFootball

The FC Barcelona Raphinha has been going through a difficult moment lately. After missing some important games for the Blaugrana team at the end of the last season due to a hamstring injury, his hopes of leading his Brazil national team to another World Cup victory are now also in danger of being jeopardized after he suffered yet another injury.

This latter injury came in Brazil’s second group stage game, against Haiti, and is expected to keep the winger on the sidelines for at least two weeks. Thus he would be unable to play in the third group stage game against Scotland, and is expected to return only in the knock-out rounds, provided his team makes it out of the first round.

Meanwhile, his future at Barcelona has also become the subject of a lot of uncertainty. Saudi Arabian sides are once again circling around him, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse with the comments of a former Brazil international, Vampeta, in which he claimed that the forward was facing some personal problems which can push him to a move to Saudi Arabia.

In such a context, Raphinha’s wife, Natalia Belloli, has decided to put an end to this claim about her family facing financial issues. As Mundo Deportivo has reported, the website Daily do Garotinho claims the winger’s spouse said the following about their family situation:

“Honestly, I find it absurd that I have to talk about my financial situation. If we were earning only 10% of what Raphinha earns today, we would still be extremely blessed.”

“I don’t see any need to put that on social media because I am fully aware of the social reality we live in. If I posted something saying, ‘Look, I’m not poor, I’m still rich,’ people would accuse me of lacking class.”

“I thought the story would die down, but these rumors have now reached Spain and everyone thinks we’re going through financial hardship.”

Although his wages are not as high as some of his teammates at Barcelona, Raphinha is still a key player for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it was difficult to imagine him facing financial problems. With these comments, his wife has also set the record straight, and hopefully, these rumors surrounding him will die down soon.
