Barça did not expect Ousmane Dembélé to decide to leave during the last hours of his release clause between June and July, but the Frenchman is no longer there and the Spanish team must turn the page.
Be that as it may, Dembélé’s defection was not only a very low blow for the departure of a player Xavi Hernández trusted so much, but it left the team with a void in terms of the wings it has had to fill a 16-year-old talent named Lamine Yamal.
Be that as it may, the one who had to assume gallantry and make a step forward was Raphinha , but the Brazilian remains the irregular footballer he proved to be during the last season and, at a time when FC Barcelona wants new cash for the his staff, there has been talk of his possible transfer.
The Brazilian has a good price in the Premier League and the 80 million euros he could have left in the coffers of the club sounded good, but the latest publications from fichajes.net point out that betting on an exchange is not ruled out.
Certainly, Raphinha is having a better season than Marcus Rashford , but the mentioned source informs that a change of cards between players is not ruled out, betting that a change of air will make them reunite, respectively, with their best version.
The Premier League’s Raphinha was a much higher scorer than the current one, while Rashford, in the 19 games he has played in the current season in all competitions, has only been able to accumulate 2 goals and 4 assists.
Be that as it may, by characteristics, Barça wants an unbalancing player like the Englishman and very electric, given that, recovering the mention of Ousmane Dembélé’s departure, Xavi ‘s squad has lost a lot of imbalance on the wings.
In addition, on a financial level the operations fit together, as United know that Barça have rejected offers of 80 million euros for their player and the winger of the Red Devil entity is valued at 75 million euros
Be that as it may, what is clear is that any market operation of such weight and significance as this will in no case occur in the middle of the season, but both clubs would wait until the next summer market for, with more time for the managers to negotiate and for the players to acclimatize to their new environment, take it forward.
