HITC have revealed that the race for Raphinha’s signature is now heating up, with Tottenham being joined by three other Premier League sides.
Raphinha’s future at Camp Nou has been cast into doubt since Lamine Yamal has now moved ahead of the Brazilian in the pecking order.
Two weeks ago, Relovo suggested that if Yamal continues to keep the former Leeds winger out of the Barca side over the next few months, the club could decide to cash in on the latter at the end of the season.
The outlet alleged that Spurs had already reached out to the winger’s agent to discuss a potential switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer.
Sport then offered an update on the saga last week, revealing that Chelsea could join their London rivals in the race for the 27-year-old.
Competition now growing for Raphinha
HITC have now become the latest outlet to credit Tottenham with an interest in Raphina, whose future at Camp Nou is now thought to be under doubt.
The publication explains that Barca have to offload some players in the summer due to their financial issues, with the Selecao star being one of the players who is most likely to be put in the shop window.
However, it is alleged that Tottenham will not find it easy to conclude a deal for the player as Ange Postecoglou’s men are now facing a challenge from West Ham, Liverpool and Newcastle, who are also keen on Raphinha.
Spurs Web Opinion
Given the success Raphinha previously had in the Premier League with Leeds, it is not surprising to see a few English clubs being altered by his availability.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham get involved in a bidding war for the 27-year-old or if they turn their attention to slightly cheaper alternatives instead.
