Barcelona are entering into a new era under the management of Hansi Flick, who succeeded Xavi Hernandez earlier this week. While it’s an exciting time for supporters, the club continues to be held back by its financial situation, which needs to be addressed in the coming weeks.

The Catalans must make significant sales if they are to generate the funds required for Flick to bring in his own players. Several players have been discussed as potential candidates to move on, and one of the most prominent is Raphinha, who was one of Barcelona’s better performers last season.
The 27-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to the Middle East, and according to MD, one club in Saudi Arabia is willing to spend at least €100m to sign the Brazilian winger.
Raphinha has little interest in a move to Saudi, although clubs in the country are likely to try their hardest to convince him over the summer. For now, his primary intention is to continue as a Barcelona player, although that could change depending on how his place in the squad is seen by Flick.
