Arsenal set their target for Barcelona player

Raphinha, who was once a star at Leeds United, is still very good at Barcelona. But with the rise of young players like 16-year-old Lamine Yamal, Barcelona may now profit handsomely from the Brazilian winger. Arsenal now has a second opportunity to sign Raphinha after losing out to Barcelona in the original competition. In addition to recognizing Raphinha's talent, the Gunners are pursuing him strategically to increase their offensive options, especially with the addition of a left-footed winger to pair with Bukayo Saka.

Arsenal's current situation offers them a distinct advantage. Barcelona may be forced to consider offers for Raphinha that are less than their initial £55 million value due to their pressing need to sell players in order to comply with Financial Fair Play requirements. Because of this, Arsenal could be able to take advantage of Barcelona's financial limitations to negotiate a better price.
