Barça : Raphinha denies rumors of leaving
Reportedly set to leave for Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian winger denounced « absurdités » and « false information ». Raphinha says he has no intention of leaving Barça despite speculation linked to the club’s financial situation.
FC Barcelona winger Raphinha sought to put an end to the speculation that had him leaving. In recent days, several media outlets mentioned a possible transfer of the Brazilian to the Saudi Pro League, in a context where Barça’s financial difficulties fuel all sorts of hypotheses.
Questioned about these rumours, the former Leeds player was categorical. According to Mundo Deportivo, Raphinha stressed that these rumours had « no real basis » : « I really don’t know where they get so many absurdities from », he said. Before adding, visibly irritated: « In this era when fake news run rampant, this is yet another good example. »
While he recently acknowledged that offers from the Middle East can sometimes be tempting, Raphinha insists he has no intention of leaving Barcelona this summer.
