This summer, Manchester United needs to upgrade their offensive unit, and Raphinha, a Brazilian international, is once again a candidate.
The Samba sensation relocated to Barcelona from Leeds United last year, but his future at the Nou Camp is currently in doubt.
Man Utd have reportedly landed in the city of Catalonia to secure the signing of Raphinha, according to a Spanish source, Nacional.
The 26-year-old played an important role for Xavi Hernandez’s team during the previous season as they won the La Liga championship.
The news source asserts that he is no longer regarded as a necessary player, and the Blaugrana are looking to unload him in order to raise money for important summer additions.
The president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, is willing to sell the South American for 60 million euros (£51 million).
Erik ten Hag has requested that the board take whatever action is necessary to finalize the signing of Raphinha because Man Utd is persuaded.
Wingers like Sancho and Antony cost a much at Old Trafford in the last two transfer windows, but the pair have fallen short of expectations.
A versatile player like Raphinha, who can play on either flank, would be a great addition to boost the quality and depth of the wide offensive positions.
The Selecao forward helped the Catalan powerhouses score 22 goals in all competitions last year (10 goals and 12 assists).
He has demonstrated PL talent. Should Manchester United approve a $51 million deal to bring him back to England?
