Major clubs await Raphinha's contract renewal situation with FC Barcelona

The Brazilian Raphinha has entered the radar of several major clubs, thanks to his remarkable form with FC Barcelona since the start of the season, having scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists in just 7 matches.

CaughtOffside reports that Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United, along with Al-Hilal, are among the clubs interested in acquiring Raphinha, with the possibility of offering higher salaries than he currently receives at FC Barcelona.

Raphinha is demanding to double his salary during contract renewal negotiations with FC Barcelona, wishing to become the highest-paid player at the club.

According to the site, journalist Ikram Konur stated that Raphinha has requested FC Barcelona to double his salary, while being aware that Al-Hilal, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United are prepared to offer higher wages.

Raphinha has significantly improved his performance recently, after starting his career with FC Barcelona below expectations following his transfer from Leeds United, before becoming one of the team's standout players.

CaughtOffside has indicated that Raphinha could help Liverpool compensate for the output Mohamed Salah has provided on the right flank, while he may represent an important option for Arsenal due to his ability to play on the left side and contribute to scoring and creating goals.

As for Manchester United, their interest in signing Raphinha seems more ambitious given the current difficulties the team is experiencing, noting that the club has previously attracted top players despite going through tough periods.
