Arsenal is keen on bringing Raphinha back to England and Edu is doing the work needed to get that deal sorted.
The winger left the Premier League for Barcelona at the start of this campaign but has not enjoyed the relevance he craves in Catalonia.
Reports claim he could return to England at the end of the term and Sport says he is growing concerned about the possible return of Lionel Messi.
Messi could be back in Barca’s colours in the summer and that may affect Raphinha’s game time at the club next season.
He is now open to leaving and Edu has been speaking to his agent Deco and looking to get the deal sorted as soon as possible.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Raphinha is one of the finest attackers we can add to our squad and we have wanted him for a long time.
The Brazilian has the talent and experience to be useful to us and if he truly wants out, we should fight to add him to our group.
As we prepare for the Champions League, we need the best players we can get to add to our squad and make it much better than it is now.
Hopefully, he will choose us over his other suitors because we clearly have competition for his signature.

I would rather we spend that money on Diaby. Signing players who outrightly rejected us (Vlahovic, Locatelli, Raphinha) will send out a very wrong message

dgr8xt, Raphinia’s rejected us twice by all accounts, however, if he said yes this time I’d take him. Only concern is watching him at Leeds, he seemed to have a bit of a negative attitude, or that’s the sense I got about him. But he can be brilliant.
Will bring a good competition for Saka noting that we’re heading to Champions league football. Vlahovic also should be a priority with Caicedo, Rice, Fresneda, Guehi and then 2023-24 season come!!
We should not be any players backup option,get tammy abraham instead of vlahovic, caicedo,diaby and buy cancelo from man city and move Ben white back to centre back to compete with saliba,cancelo to compete with tomiyasu and act as cover for zinchenko incase Tierney leaves.
