Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr entice Barcelona and Raphinha

Mundo Deportivo reports that Saudi Pro League clubs have placed Barcelona winger Raphinha among their top priorities for the upcoming transfer window, with Al‑Hilal and Al‑Nassr ready to launch major financial offers. The initial proposal is expected to reach around €80 million, reflecting the league’s continued ambition to attract elite European talent.

According to the report, Saudi officials are also prepared to offer Raphinha a salary up to four times higher than his current earnings at Barcelona, underlining the financial power behind the project and the desire to add another global‑profile player to the competition.

Saudi executives view Raphinha as an ideal fit for their long‑term sporting strategy, believing his arrival would elevate both the league’s level and its international visibility. However, Barcelona consider the Brazilian indispensable in Hansi Flick’s system, making any potential departure extremely difficult as the club aims to maintain stability in key positions.
