Saudi Arabia appears to be eyeing 26-year-old Barcelona electrifying striker former Leeds United star

In Saudi Arabia, Raphinha is sought. The Brazilian winger is the most recent name to appear on the Kingdom’s list of potential targets.

A number of prominent stars have already made the move to the country, which is spending huge money to raise the profile of its league in the Middle East.

So far, the former Leeds United man’s camp has indicated that he is content to stay at Barcelona, but that hasn’t stopped Saudi officials from making what is said to be a ‘tempting’ offer.

Raphinha cemented himself in Xavi’s plans towards the conclusion of the campaign after initially struggling at Camp Nou. This has tipped off Saudi Arabia, which is scouting around Europe for the top talent.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, and N’Golo Kanté have already made big money moves.

For the time being, he has stated that he has no wish to leave the Spanish champions, despite reports that the offer is a “large sum of money.” The offer and money are certainly there if Raphinha changes his mind, but he appears to be pleased for the time being.

The 26-year-old joined Barcelona from Leeds United in the summer for a reputed fee of £55 million. After joining from French side Rennes, he was a major hit at Elland Road.

He made an immediate impression on the Leeds United stage, scoring six goals in his first season in the Premier League, guiding Marcelo Bielsa’s side to a respectable ninth-place finish.

He had an even bigger impression the following year, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists to impress Barcelona.
