Manchester United are reportedly prepared to offer €70 million for Barcelona forward, Raphinha.
Raphinha, 28, is currently having the best season of his career so far, with 27 goals and 21 assists in all competitions.
The Brazilian is clearly a contender to win the next Ballon d’Or and has been among the Blaugrana team’s top performers this season. Meanwhile, other major European teams have taken notice of his impressive performances.
According to Fichajes as claimed by Barca News Network, Manchester United, one of the Premier League’s biggest teams, are attempting to persuade Barcelona to part with the Brazilian player by making an offer of €70 million.

United are interested in strengthening their offensive line by adding more depth and Raphinha is one of the top contenders for the position.
The 28-year-old Canarinha star would immediately improve the team’s offensive options in addition to being a wise long-term investment.
Rúben Amorim, the head coach of United, is especially keen to have him join the team. It will be difficult to persuade Barca to let go of their most important player this season, though.
It appears quite unlikely that the Blaugranes will allow one of their starting forwards leave. Particularly one as crucial as Raphinha, as they are actively seeking to bolster their left wing before the upcoming campaign begins.
