According to report Raphinha is expected to secure a surprise £50m move to Arsenal this week after Barcelona failed to
formalise their interest in the Leeds United attacker.
Mikel Arteta is working hard to strengthen his squad this summer and Arsenal have been strongly linked with Man City striker Gabriel Jesus while a shock £34m deal for attacking midfielder Fabio Vieira was announced by Porto last week.

However, it appears Arsenal are looking to bring in even more attacking reinforcements as The Athletic claimed over the weekend that Arteta also wanted to sign Raphinha as well as Gabriel and Vieira.

It looks like we’ve stepped-up our pursuit of the Brazilian international as report claims that Raphinha is expected to secure a move to Arsenal this week after we submitted an offer for the winger.

The news outlet says Barcelona haven’t formalised their supposed interest and cannot afford Leeds’ £50m asking price, so Raphinha isn’t prepared to wait around for the Catalans and wants to seal his move to Arsenal asap.

Report have it that Arsenal have made the 25-year-old a lucrative package and as long as there are no late complications, Raphinha should secure a move to the Emirates Stadium over the coming days. https://eisportgist..com/2022/06/arsenal-likely-to-complete-50m-raphinha.html?m=1
