Reports | Raphinha rejects Liverpool interest in favour of Barcelona move

Jesse Marsch was bought in as the new manager to spark life onto the team and the American coach was successful in keeping the side in the Premier League with key players such as Raphinha proving to be the difference. So much so, that the Brazil international has been a priority transfer target this summer for Barcelona and Sport has reported that Raphinha is all set to turn an offer from Liverpool in order to realize his dream of representing the Spanish side in the future.

Barcelona are set to lose out on the services of winger Ousmane Dembele this summer and Blaugrana boss Xavi Hernandez is keen on reinforcements in attack as they look to wrap up a deal for the Brazilian. On the other hand, the Reds had identified Raphinha as a potential Mohamed Salah replacement although the Brazilian has other ideas. The report has indicated that Barcelona will make an official offer soon after balancing their books and that personal terms have already been agreed upon with Raphinha keen on signing for them.
