According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona has approved a €100 million contract with Saudi Arabia for a top player, including bonuses. Many were surprised by the move, as the player was expected to stay with the club. It appears the Saudi offer was too excellent to pass up. Saudi Pro League raids Barcelona

According to reports, Saudi Arabia has made a sizable offer for Barcelona’s promising Brazilian winger Raphinha.
Barcelona valued the winger at €80 million, according to SPORT (via Barca Universal). However, Saudi Arabian clubs are showing a readiness to pay more than this to get his services.
Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli are four of the prominent Saudi Pro League teams that are very interested in adding Raphinha to their rosters.
Due to their financial difficulties, Barcelona might give selling the Brazilian winger some serious thought.
Raphinha left Leeds United to join Barcelona in the summer of 2022, reportedly paying €57 million. He hasn’t, however, yet distinguished himself as one of the Catalan club’s most notable performers since his arrival.
He has made 77 appearances for Barcelona in a variety of competitions, however he has only contributed 21 assists and 15 goals.
The left-footed forward has made appearances in 20 La Liga games this season, tallying four goals and six assists.
Raphinha leaving Spain soon would not be shocking, considering his relatively small impact at Camp Nou.
It’s still unclear if he would choose to relocate to the Middle East. Raphinha, who is 27 years old and has international experience for Brazil, can choose to stay in Europe and pursue big championships.
Raphinha has also stated that he wants to remain at Barcelona and help the Blaugrana win the Champions League.
