Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Barcelona winger Raphinha.
A report from Football Insider claims that the Spanish outfit are now prepared to sanction his departure for a fee of around £40-50 million.
It seems that Barcelona are ready to accept a cut-price deal for the Brazilian winger because of their delicate financial situation. The Spanish giants are looking to raise funds and it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for the 26-year-old.
Apparently, clubs like Tottenham, Newcastle United and Liverpool are all keen on signing Raphinha.
Tottenham need to add more quality and depth in the wide areas and Raphinha should prove to be a superb acquisition for them. He has shown his quality in the Premier League with Leeds United and he could make an immediate impact at the North London club.
The Brazilian international will add pace, flair and creativity to the side. For the reported £40-50 million fee, he could prove to be a quality addition and the player has the attributes to justify the investment as well.
He has had a mixed spell at the Spanish club and a return to the Premier League could help him regain his peak form.
Tottenham’s free-flowing attacking approach under Ange Postecoglou would be a good fit for the Brazilian international as well, and he could thrive in their attacking system.
The reported asking price is certainly affordable for Tottenham and it remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Barcelona in the coming months.
