Patiently waiting for him, Pedri and the rest of the core of this team to lead us to a CL title sooner rather than later, and firmly put their name into the hall of fame of this club.

We're not in the little league anymore. Time for the full package. Sick of praising players for doing well on low pressure then seeing pricks like Vinicius lifting CL after CL, and blaming it on voodoo, luck, weak competition or whatever.

Time for the serious business starts this season. The team is reaching maturity, we have a top manager, super talents. Damn shame we lack a stadium. Once the 105k seater is finished and our talents improve even more... we're primed for big things. And when we go big... we go really really big.

Raphinha would be great for them in that more central role KDB has aged out of.

If the fee is big enough you take it and push for Musiala with a year left if not renewed.

Raph is 29 this year...if get offered big fee it is a consideration.

Diaz is 29 this year also. Wouldnt be spending what have on players that age.

Supported the signing from minute one, but I've maintained for a while now if the right offer comes we sell.

Especially the 2026 summer.

2025 would be difficult to sell, everyone who was saying he was a poor signing and blah blah, would lose their collective shit 😂 .

But 2026, if we get a nice offer, absolutely sell.

If Barca could sell Raphinha for Musiala they would do it would think.

Harsh on him given season he is having but think they would and only contemplate it for that.

If he has a good few seasons would still get money from Saudi after few anyway.

Raph has been fighting against the wind ever since he signed. Constantly played out of position, constantly subbed by Xavi, even when playing well, and constantly nudged towards the exit door by those in power.

Despite all that, he knuckled down, didn't complain and worked his ass off all to fulfill his dream of playing for the club he loves, a club that hadn't treated him the best and he had to do all that whilst STILL PLAYING OUT OF POSITION ( He's never played LW in his life until he came here ) .

I would reject ANY offer on the basis of PRINCIPLE. 150m might make sense to sell, but it's not worth the disgusting taste it would leave in my mouth. I am being straight up fucking serious. If they sell this guy even for 300m I will be fucking fuming.

Not for me thanks. Raph deserves to play in the New Camp Nou in front of 105 thousand. When footballers go and chase the bag in Saudi we always say that some things are more important than money, well we should also demand that from our club itself as well.

The Xavi subbing was especially annoying.

Bro single handedly won us 15 points the season we won the league and Xavi would be subbing him off at 65 minutes like clock work.

He would be fuming and rightly so.

Another W.

But for his age, 2026, 80m+, would be hard to turn down.

Can see him going to SA after the world cup, to secure the bag.

If this was FM you'd take that 120m and invest in other ways. But we all know this isn't how Barca works, neither from a club POV or for a player of this type.

Is Raphinha really better off somewhere else? I doubt it, and he knows that. Only way is if the club completely alienates him and forces him out, but don't think that will be appreciated from neither fans or teammates and will be a bad look on the player who is a Ballon d'Or candidate.

I don't think Raphinha will replicate this season ever again so selling when his stock is at its highest wouldn't be a bad idea. But I would be really surprised if he leaves this summer.

We literally can’t upgrade on this current Raphinha. He’s non transferable unless he loses this level, which I think he won’t for at least 2 seasons, maybe 4 or more.

Any thoughts of selling him are ridiculous. You don’t sell match winners like this, he also runs for 2-3 players.
