Saudi Arabia is expected to invest heavily in the upcoming transfer window and already has at least one clear target. According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona forward Raphinha is on the radar of several Saudi clubs.
Although the interested clubs have not been announced, expectations are that they will present a significant offer to convince the Brazilian to transfer after the 2026 World Cup. According to the report, teams are ready to seriously compete for his services, although so far there has not been an official offer.
We recall that last year a club from the Saudi league attempted to transfer Raphinha to the Middle East.
At the time, Barcelona had an offer of around 90 million euros on the table, while the player was offered a very high salary. However, the Brazilian decided to stay with the Catalans.
It remains to be seen whether the interest will be materialized with official steps in the coming months, especially with the approach of a summer that is expected to be very active in the transfer market.
Raphinha, meanwhile, could win the La Liga title as early as the weekend, provided Barcelona triumphs over Osasuna and Real Madrid drops points with Espanyol.
