Barcelona winger Raphinha has been linked with a move to Arsenal or Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

The Reds could be looking for a replacement for Mohamed Salah, who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, Arsenal need more depth in the forward positions, as Bukayo Saka currently has to play virtually every minute.

Raphinha has performed well for Barcelona this season, registering eight goals and 10 assists in all competitions, but La Blaugrana may still be tempted to sell him.

They are in well-documented financial trouble and an offer upwards of the €58 million they paid Leeds for his services could prove too good to turn down.

However, the Brazil international revealed after the team's Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain that he has no interest in leaving.

"I have a few more years on my contract and I plan to fulfil them, I have already said many times that signing for Barcelona was a dream, and I will do everything possible to stay here for many years."

Raphinha to Saudi Arabia?

Raphinha is not only subject to interest from the Premier League, but the Saudi Pro League also.

He would join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema in the Middle East country.

"The price of the transfer fee that Saudi Arabia are willing to pay far exceeds the valuation made months ago by Barca in relation to the Brazilian international, which was €80m," previously reported Spanish outlet Sport.

FootballTransfers’ algorithm values the winger at €24.7m with three years left to run on his contract, so any offer upwards of €80m would be a miracle.
