Manchester City are set to launch a massive bid for Barcelona’s star winger Raphinha, with reports suggesting that the Premier League giants are willing to offer a staggering £84 million to secure his services.
According to sources in Spain, Manchester City have identified Raphinha as a key target for the summer transfer window, and are preparing to make their move. The Brazilian winger has been in sensational form for Barcelona this season, scoring 11 goals in 20 La Liga appearances and providing a further six assists.
Raphinha’s impressive performances have caught the attention of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who is keen to add the winger to his squad. However, Barcelona are unlikely to let their star player go without a fight, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester City’s £84 million bid will be enough to persuade them to sell.

Arsenal are also reportedly interested in signing Raphinha, but it appears that Manchester City are in the driving seat to secure his signature. With the transfer window set to close on February 3rd, Manchester City will be hoping to wrap up a deal for Raphinha as soon as possible.
Despite his impressive form, Raphinha has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Barcelona in the past. However, under the guidance of manager Hansi Flick, he has flourished this season, becoming one of the team’s most important players.
It’s clear that Raphinha is happy at Barcelona, and the club are equally keen to keep him. However, the lure of Manchester City’s massive bid and the chance to play in the Premier League may prove too tempting for the winger to resist. Only time will tell if Raphinha will make the switch to Manchester City or remain at Barcelona.
