A new report suggests Raphinha is not set to leave Barcelona, despite recent links to clubs from Saudi Arabia. The update comes at a time when there is growing uncertainty around the futures of several attacking players at the club.
Much of that attention has focused on the wing positions. Ferran Torres has been mentioned in connection with Paris Saint-Germain, while Raphinha has also drawn outside interest. That combination has added to the sense of anxiety around Barcelona's plans for the squad.
According to the report, however, Raphinha's situation looks more stable than the speculation has suggested. The Brazilian winger is now being viewed as a player who will remain at Barcelona, at least for the time being, rather than becoming the latest high-profile move linked to Saudi Arabia.
If that stance holds, it would give Barcelona some clarity in an area of the squad that has been surrounded by transfer talk. Even with Ferran Torres still being mentioned in rumors, the latest update indicates that Raphinha is not currently heading for an exit.
