Raphinha has a verbal pact with Deco on conditions that would facilitate his departure to Saudi Arabia next summer. However, this is currently not something he is thinking about. @sport

100m inc? Not sure what it would take for him to consider leaving, winning CL? Or not winning CL?

Very difficult to sell him. You'd need to have a younger, similar quality player lined up for the LW. Then yes, could be worth it.

Players of Raphinha's leadership, dedication, workrate, fitness, they are not that common.

Very hard indeed. Read a few days ago about a couple of LW names: Nusa, Fofana and one more, don't remember who it was. Especially Nusa has been mentioned lately. The leadership part will be impossible to find, rare trait in a LW.

We give players to Saudi for free.

The links between Raphinha and Saudi are appearing for years, there must be something there. Kind of sad, a player who is one of the best in the world flirting with that scum. He's seems like a true footballer, fighter, not some sellout but you never know.

It would make sense in 3-4 years, not earlier.

That is so naive. :lol:

You don't know him personally. Also, he can be a fighter on the pitch and still want the Saudi money at the same time. Numerous leaders and "humble nice guys" are playing in Saudi as we speak.

He isn't trying to he nice or humble.
He said before the season he had offer from Saudi and he was very tempted. No hiding from it.
Wont be surprised if he goes in next season or season after.

Jobs not finished.
Needs to deliver more trophies this season.

I don't see why people judge footballers that go to Saudi at the end of their careers and secure a generational wealth for themselves and their family

I would do the same. You would do the same. Everybody would. Why is spending years finished in Europe and getting mocked better than enjoying your life in Saudi and getting loads of money with minimal effort?
