The three Premier League giants contact Raphinha's agent

Barcelona had looked at selling Raphinha last summer as they sought to finance a move for Nico Williams. The Brazilian's presence has proved to be one of the best decisions made by the Blaugrana this season, as he has exploded in top form.

Good performances and top form has made Raphihna again attract interest from the wealthy and elite European clubs.

According to the newspaper Sport, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have all inquired about Raphinha's availability next summer.


However, the chances of him leaving next year are described as slim, having established himself as a leader and key player this season at Barcelona.

Raphinha was chosen by his teammates as vice-captain last summer and has 27 assists in 24 appearances this season - more than any other Barcelona player.

It's worth noting that Barcelona are still looking at the left-back position as an area to strengthen this summer, but it should also be said that the local press expect Barcelona to offer Raphinha a new contract next summer. /Telegraph/
