11 - Raphinha

[MonteCuler]

It was reported when he renewed the contract to 2028 that a release clause of 80m had been added and a chance it could be used for him to leave after the World Cup.

Would be dumb to do unless we have a clear idea who to replace him with and that someone is a proven footballer who's willing to put in at least 50℅ of the work Rapha does

And for 80m... it would be dumb to do regardless. For 80m go absolute bums nowadays, not ballon d'or contenders

He is also 30 this year and it would be if he wants to go.

Just let him recover properly. His age is irrelevant here. You want him to stay the same, work hard when he plays, press like a mad man, make runs, all that stuff. But you have to rest him.

Which is why putting him on vs Santander, some 3rd league team in the Cup is a stupid thing to do. That's how he missed the Sociedad game.

We didn't handle him well so far this season, and that's why he is nagged by injuries. I know he's important but it doesn't do anyone any good if he is not physically well.

Exactly, Rashy will be just fine...

Well, this is exactly why he's here.
