Raphinha, a 29-year-old Brazilian winger, is the target that Arsenal is preparing to pursue in the January transfer market. The London-based team is considering a bid of 80 million euros for the Barcelona player, after failing to sign another forward in the summer and losing Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.

Raphinha emerges as a solution for Arsenal

Arsenal ended the summer transfer window without securing a new forward, despite exploring alternatives like Julian Alvarez. The Argentine opted to stay at Atletico Madrid, while Mikel Arteta lost attacking options during the window.

The attacking situation changed with the departures of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli. Jesus was transferred to Barcelona for around 10 million euros and signed until 2029, while Martinelli moved to Al-Hilal in a deal worth approximately 60 million pounds.

Arsenal did bring in Christos Tzolis, but the Greek winger was the only notable offensive addition in a summer where the club spent over 220 million euros on transfers. The lack of another option for the wings opens the door to seek solutions in January.

This is where Raphinha comes in. The Brazilian is under contract with Barcelona until June 30, 2028, so Arsenal would need to reach a financial agreement with the Catalan club to secure his departure. His release clause is set at 1 billion euros, as communicated by the club.

Barcelona has few reasons to negotiate

The scenario makes the 80 million euros that Arsenal is preparing to offer a starting point, but there is no confirmation that Barcelona has agreed to negotiate for that amount. Raphinha renewed his contract in May 2025 after a season where he scored 34 goals and provided 25 assists in 56 matches, extending his deal until 2028.

Additionally, the winger's performance has not waned with the new season. In the early matches of the 2026/27 campaign, he has already scored five goals in three LaLiga matches, including a brace against Rayo Vallecano in a 5-2 win.

Raphinha also maintains significant importance at Barcelona due to his accumulated production. Since joining in 2022, he has recorded 77 goals in 192 matches according to the club's official statistics.

The addition of Gabriel Jesus does not alter this situation. The Brazilian has just arrived at Barcelona to address a forward need and signed a three-year contract, while Raphinha continues to be utilized by Flick in different offensive positions.

For Arsenal, the next step will be to wait until January 2027 and decide whether to formalize the 80 million euros offer for Raphinha. For Barcelona, the priority will be to keep the Brazilian under contract until 2028, unless a proposal capable of changing the scenario emerges.
