Al-Nassr are reportedly interested in Barcelona winger Raphinha with the Brazilian being linked with a move away from Camp Nou.
According to Sport, a Spanish outlet that mainly covers Barcelona, they claim that the Saudi side are interested in the former Leeds United winger.
Franck Kessie has already made the move to Saudi side Al-Ahli so another Barcelona star may well be on his way to the Middle East.
While there hasn’t been a formal offer from the team that has Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo Brozovic, Sadio Mané, and Aymeric Laporte among its ranks, initial contacts have already been made.
The Saudi side have splashed the cash this summer and the Brazilian winger may well be the next name on the list for the Saudi juggernauts.
Would Raphinha make the move
The former Stade Rennais winger only completed the move to the Spanish giants last summer after a transfer tug-of-war with Chelsea and Arsenal – the winger chose the Nou Camp.
According to the same report, the Brazilian winger has publicly and reportedly emphasized that nothing and no one will deter him from pursuing his dream of success with Barcelona.
It remains to be seen whether Al-Nassr’s interest will alter his plans, but all indications point to his unwavering commitment to donning the famous colours of Barcelona.
The Barcelona man is suspended currently following his red card against Getafe, but it seems unlikely that the Brazilian winger will be remaining at Camp Nou.
Where the Saudi side would fit the Brazilian in remains to be seen, following the arrival of Sadio Mane, with Cristiano Ronaldo also up-front, it’s hard to see where the Brazilian would fit it but nevertheless the Saudi side are reportedly interested in the winger.
