Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are reportedly among the suitors for Barcelona star Raphinha after his electrifying form at the start of this season.

Interestingly, it seems Raphinha could be facing some uncertainty at Barca right now, as he wants to double his wages with a new contract.
One imagines that could be an issue for the Catalan giants, but journalist Ekrem Konur claims that the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, and Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal would be prepared to offer him more money…
