Man City boss Pep Guardiola holds strong interest in one Barcelona star. The player has been in superb form this season. He is considered as one of the best players right now. The Sky Blues are willing to spend more than €80 million to bring him at the Etihad.
The star in question here is Brazilian winger Raphinha. He is 28 year old and is in the form of his life. He has scored 28 goals and picked 20 assists in 48 games this season. Raphinha has helped Barca to stay on top of La Liga table and are also favourites to reach the semifinal of Champions League.
Man City hold strong interest in Raphinha
City are likely to make some key changes in their squad this summer. Pep Guardiola is not convinced by the current quality of his squad. Many of the current players can be seen moving away from the club. This will then require addition of new faces.
As of now, City are said to part ways with Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish. In addition, the club may also opt to move-on from Jeremy Doku. This will open up space in final third where Pep Guardiola will like to add a versatile star.
City have their eyes on various players across the whole Europe. One of them is Raphinha. According to El Nacional, Pep Guardiola can be seen sanctioning a deal for Raphinha. The Sky Blues are ready to spend more than €80 million to bring the Brazilian back to Premier League.
However it will be very hard for City to land Raphinha. The player is very highly rated by the Spanish giants. They view him as a key part of their future. Hansi Flick likes the 28 year old very much as he is one of his regular starters. Hence, Barca will do all in their power to keep Raphinha.
