Franck Kessie could stop being the only footballer in the FC Barcelona squad to set course for Saudi Arabia this summer. As reported by Gianluigi Longari, a journalist for ‘Sportitalia’, Al-Nassr is very interested in obtaining Raphinha’s services.
Although there has not yet been a formal offer from the team that includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo Brozovic, Sadio Mané and Aymeric Laporte , the initial contacts have already taken place.
The Brazilian winger has made it very clear publicly that nothing and no one is going to cause him to give up his dream of succeeding at Barça. We will see if Al-Nassr’s interest modifies his plans, but everything seems to indicate that his will to continue defending the Barça elastic remains intact.
This weekend, meanwhile, Raphinha will miss the second and final game of suspension after his expulsion against Getafe .
Several Saudi media outlets add to Longari’s information that Al-Nassr is also interested in Antoine Griezmann. The team coached by Luís Castro thinks of the Brazilian or the French to replace Anderson Talisca whose future is uncertain.
It seems difficult for one of the two players to leave European football in the short term , but if we have learned anything in recent months it is that no scenario can be ruled out . And less with the money from Arabia involved.
