Jorge Jesus, coach of Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, is keeping an eye on possible reinforcements for next season and wants to have Brazilian Raphinha on his team. According to the Spanish newspaper Sports worldBarcelona has already defined the value to negotiate, but the player has no interest in leaving the club.
Barcelona would only be willing to trade Raphinha for a proposal of approximately R$520 million. According to the newspaper, last year, the Spanish club refused an offer from Arab football of around R$460 million for the Brazilian, who has a termination fine of around R$2.3 billion.
With ten goals and 11 assists last season, Raphinha is considered important within the Barcelona squad and would not have the desire to leave the club to play in Saudi Arabia.

Still according to the Sports world, Jorge Jesus sees Raphinha as a good option to reinforce Al-Hilal’s squad, which already has Brazilians Neymar and Malcom. The Portuguese coach knows that money is not a problem for the club, which has the resources to meet Barcelona’s request.
Now, Jorge Jesus seeks to convince Raphinha to leave Spain. According to the Spanish outlet, the Arab club intends to offer a salary much higher than what the Brazilian earns at Barcelona.
