Paris Saint-Germain, known as PSG, has set its sights on Raphinha, the talented winger of FC Barcelona, as a possible star reinforcement for its attack, attempting to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé, according to El Nacional. However, Barcelona, under the leadership of Joan Laporta, has no intentions of facilitating his departure, as Raphinha has solidified his place as a key player in the team and has shown exceptional performance this season.

PSG's interest in the Brazilian player stems from the need for an offensive figure to become a leader within Luis Enrique's system. While the Parisian team has talents like Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé, the latter has raised some doubts due to his inconsistency, and the club desires a player who can take on greater responsibilities on the field. With 10 goals and nine assists this season, Raphinha has earned praise from both the fans and the Barça board, increasing his value and the difficulty of a potential transfer.

Barcelona Has No Intention of Selling Raphinha

Until recently, Barcelona contemplated a possible sale of Raphinha in a scenario of financial need, but his role has shifted significantly, and he is now seen as a key piece for the club's future. Laporta and the sporting director, Deco, have made it clear that they would only consider his departure through the payment of the release clause, amounting to 1 billion euros, a figure seemingly unattainable even for PSG.

Furthermore, PSG would be willing to offer him a significantly higher salary than he currently earns at Barça. However, Barcelona's resistance and the enormous clause amount could dash PSG's hopes of acquiring the Brazilian international.
