Barcelona According to press reports, Spanish club Barcelona have scuppered the Saudi al-hilal ‘s plan to include Brazilian replacement Neymar Najem Al-Zaim.
During the current winter transfer window, the al-hilal will seek to compensate the currently absent Neymar after suffering a cut to the knee’s cruciate ligament.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Al-Hilal again inquired about the possibility of signing Brazilian star Rafinha Barcelona, where the player has received special attention from the Saudi club since last summer.
The Catalan newspaper added that Rafinha’s sale to the crescent had become impossible for Barcelona for the time being, but that things could change next summer after assessing the situation.
She explained that in Barcelona they believe Rafinha will leave the team this season, because the player’s performance is erratic and there is disappointment with his form.
According to Sport, Barcelona will not allow any players to leave in January due to the impossibility of including new players, but in the summer they will need to sell more than one player in order to finance new season deals.
However, Rafinha has the absolute confidence of Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández, who was the most used wing of the offensive line, far ahead of Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal.
Rafinha, 27, did not want to leave Barcelona last summer after Al-Hilal indicated his desire to sign him, and sporting director Deco clearly preferred the player to stay after the unexpected departure of Frenchman Ousmane Dembele to Paris Saint-Germain.
