Pep Guardiola Prepares Major Changes at Manchester City After a Disappointing Season. He needs major signings and, although he promised not to touch anything from Barça when he left, he has thought about a star from Hansi Flick. The man from Santpedor is clear: to reach the next level again, he needs someone like Raphinha, who is completing a season worthy of winning the Ballon d'Or.
Pep Guardiola Wants Raphinha, 100M
The British portal 'CaughtOffside' has released the interest, indicating that Manchester City could make a proposal for Raphinha next summer. Pep Guardiola's team wants to part ways with Jack Grealish for not meeting high expectations, and instead, they have thought of the Barça star. He is the chosen one to lead a renewed attack alongside Erling Haaland, and they are preparing a lot of money.
At the moment, Raphinha's value exceeds 80 million euros (80M euros), a price that Manchester City would have no problem paying. In total, the proposal could reach 100M euros, trying to convince all parties. Currently, the Brazilian has a contract until 2027, and his renewal is being studied.
Raphinha Wants to Stay and Barça Wants to Renew Him, But There Could Be Surprises. At 28 years old, he is experiencing his best season and is a contender for the Ballon d'Or, which has sparked interest from several teams, such as Manchester City. Not only does Pep Guardiola want him, but he is also very popular in Arabia.
Raphinha: Renewal with Low Clause
To try to achieve a favorable situation for all parties, Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Barça has a plan with Raphinha. The idea is to renew his contract for the coming years, with a formula similar to the one Ronald Araújo signed a few months ago. For a week, he would be given an accessible clause in case he intends to leave, something the Brazilian sees positively.
What they don't want with Raphinha is to lose money, especially not in such a positive situation as now. He is experiencing the best moment of his career, fighting for the Ballon d'Or and leading Barça both on and off the field. He is one of the great idols of the fans and Pep Guardiola intends to take him to Manchester City: he offers 100M euros and could create a problem.
