Barcelona's Plan to Sign Juventus Star
The website "Fichajes" reported that FC Barcelona is considering selling their Brazilian winger Raphinha if attractive offers come from Saudi clubs, which could exceed 100 million euros, allowing the club to sign the young Turkish star Kenan Yildiz.
Raphinha recently revealed that he has received enticing offers from the Saudi league, which has made him contemplate leaving Barcelona. The Catalan club sees selling the player as an opportunity to alleviate financial pressures and leverage the proceeds from the sale to fund major attacking signings.
The 20-year-old Turkish star has excelled at Juventus and is included in the list for the 2025 Golden Boy award, with his transfer value estimated at around 90 million euros. Juventus is setting strict conditions for selling the player, including recently enhancing his contract, making the deal a challenge that requires a convincing offer from Barcelona.
Barcelona aims to utilize the proceeds from Raphinha's sale to finance the Yildiz deal without affecting other aspects of the team. Yildiz is considered suitable for the future of the club's attack as a talented young forward with the potential to develop in La Liga.
Timing will be crucial, as Barcelona seeks to finalize the Raphinha deal before the end of the transfer market and sign Yildiz before other clubs intervene, making this step the beginning of a new attacking era at Camp Nou.
