La Liga
Liverpool is preparing a strong move: they have their sights set on Brazilian Raphinha and are willing to offer nearly 100 million euros to sign him in the upcoming summer transfer market.
The Reds' plan is clear: to make him the ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah, who could say goodbye after a dip in his performance and tempting offers from Saudi Arabia.
Raphinha appears as a natural candidate to replace the Egyptian legend. The Brazilian has proven to be decisive, has experience in the Premier League, and his offensive power would fit perfectly into the project that Arne Slot wants to build. Furthermore, his contract with FC Barcelona makes him an accessible piece for the English club.
Raphinha: the ideal option for the Reds
The Reds have thoroughly analyzed Raphinha. With his dribbling skills, speed, and ability to finish, they believe he can fill the void left by Salah. Slot needs a talented winger to create imbalances on the wing and also the ability to link up with teammates in attack.
Raphinha, 28, has been very productive. This season he has scored three goals and provided two assists in just seven matches, showcasing his quality despite coming back from an injury. Last year, he had an outstanding season with 34 goals and 26 assists in 57 games under the guidance of Hansi Flick at Barcelona.
Furthermore, his past experience in England adds value. Liverpool appreciates that he already has experience in the British elite and is not afraid of struggling to adapt. His familiarity with the league, speed, and ability to beat opponents make him a very attractive option to strengthen the attack.

FC Barcelona could facilitate Raphinha's departure
On the other side, FC Barcelona also sees selling Raphinha as a positive move. The deal proposed by Liverpool is around 100 million, an amount that could alleviate the financial issues of the Catalan club. In these times of financial fair play, such a sale could create room for new signings and help improve the financial situation.
The Brazilian is not a cheap player, but his contract with Barcelona still has several seasons left, providing room for negotiation. For Barcelona, letting him go would represent a strategic solution both in sporting and economic terms.
A strategic move for both parties
If this transfer materializes, Liverpool would strengthen their attack significantly, while Barcelona would solve part of their financial difficulties. Raphinha would gain prominence in a club that needs him, and the Reds would have a high-impact signing to lead their attack for several years.
Liverpool's plan is ambitious but coherent with their reconstruction idea. Slot is betting on players with speed, technique, and hunger for the game, and Raphinha fulfills these requirements with flying colors.
Raphinha becomes a key piece for the Reds' future. If Liverpool indeed moves with those 100 million, the Brazilian could be the major bet to replace Salah and keep the Reds among the elite of European football. The scenario is close to materializing, and all signs point to a verdict in the coming months.
