In a sensational twist, Manchester United edges closer to clinching the signature of coveted winger Raphinha, with reports suggesting a breakthrough in negotiations.
Manchester United Keen on Signing Raphinha as Barcelona Prepares to Offload
The saga surrounding Raphinha’s potential move to Old Trafford has taken another intriguing turn, following initial interest from the Red Devils last December.
Previous attempts, including a proposed swap deal involving Jadon Sancho, failed to materialize, with Barcelona holding out for a hefty fee of £78.6 million ($100 million) for the Brazilian sensation.
However, recent developments indicate a shift in the transfer landscape. Reports emerging from Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes suggest that Barcelona are prepared to offload Raphinha during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Fueling further speculation, the Catalan giants are reportedly eyeing Juventus star Paolo Dybala as a potential replacement for the dynamic winger.
According to sources, negotiations between Manchester United and Barcelona have intensified, culminating in an apparent agreement in principle to secure Raphinha’s services.

With Antony failing to justify his price tag at Manchester United, the prospect of securing Raphinha as a worthy replacement gains momentum. The burning question remains: Should Manchester United be willing to shell out £78.6 million to secure Raphinha’s services from Barcelona?
