He's going to get injured a lot regardless. The likes of Silva and Sterling can handle the EPL's physicality so if Rafa is good enough (Doubtful, tbh), he should do fine.

We are paying 30-40 million for junk like Arda or Gomes and are dropping La Masia kid who is a superior player.
Great message to kids in Juvenils and B team
From the look of things Rafinha is the one who wants to leave for the betterment of his career, while Arda is just a freeloader happier doing nothing than playing, and Gomes is not even considered a failure to the club and coach, somehow.
If are to sell and sell to England then nothing less than 30mil. should be considered.

Exactly. Or we could use him for a straight swap with Coutinho (+ money). At least if we want Coutinho off course.

Can't see any team in England paying 30m for Rafinha.

Could swap with Coutinho
25m euros from Juve, Barca should take the money. Too many injuries, and only borderline good enough. I think Sergi Roberto should play more than him in midfield. Some serious money should be spent on a new alternative. For someone who can play himself into the first 11, the way Umtiti did this year.

We can't let Rafinha go. After few years we'll be crying after him as well.
Also, he is great substitute player, we need more of those..
Not good start for off-season, If we lose Rafinha and keep Arda/Gomes etc. I think then we downgrade immediately.

He isn't Thiago. Rafinha is a hard worker, but he won't become anything more than a rotation option, but problem with even that is that he's so injury prone. Roberto a better midfielder. Rafinha is not the fastest player, not very creative or got size on him.
Even if he stays, he doesn't have a long-term future at the club IMO and will more likely get surpassed by someone like Alena in a season or two.
If we can manage to get 30m for him, then I'd absolutely sell. When it comes to Arda and Gomes then I'd obviously sell them too without a shred of doubt.
If we can get close to what we paid for Gomes then sell him. As for Arda then try to sell him to the highest bidder.

I agree that if we can get 30M for Rafinha we sell,may be even less
But I won't put him in the market for now unless he asked for that directly,I think after this season we shouldn't under estimate the importance of bench and stability. Rafinha is one of our best players on the bench and he will have very good future being solid rotation player here for years to come if he accepts that. Otherwise I would sell Denis b4 him

Yeah, that's implying he really want to leave. If he's okay staying then Arda and Denis goodbye it is. Gomes too if we can get 30-35m.
