Spanish press reports reveal that Brazilian Rafinha has returned to re-enter the Saudi Al-hilal Club’s interest in obtaining his services during the upcoming winter transfer window.
The Spanish newspaper Sport explained that interest in the Blaugrana wing had reappeared to replace his compatriot Neymar, who had suffered a strong injury earlier.
Al-Hilal is looking for a star in the market who can offensively compensate Neymar, who suffers a serious injury and will only return next season. The Saudi club has a long list of high-level players who are considering signing one to compensate Neymar, and Brazil’s Rafinha is one of them.
Al-Hilal made an enticing offer to the Brazilian international already last summer, but completely closed the door to leaving Barcelona for the Premier League and Saudi Arabia.
Neymar’s loss was a severe blow at the sporting and media level to the al-hilal, and Neymar has already been dropped to register a new foreign player on the team list, and in recent weeks names such as Jado Sancho or Napoli striker Osimhen have been mentioned.
Rafinha faces an erratic season in Barcelona due to his physical problems, although he now seems to have fully recovered to help the team
In the summer of 2022, Barcelona signed Rafinha from England’s Leeds United on a deal worth up to 67 million euros.
