Why sealing Raphinha is a fantastic idea for Barcelona

Brazilians and FC Barcelona often go hand in hand and to be honest, Raphinha hasn’t been the worst signing Barcelona have ever made. The wide man certainly provided some magical moments for the blaugranes during his first season at the club, but they have been few and far between.
Despite a more than decent return of 10 goals and 11 assists, it is Raphinha’s inconsistency that makes it particularly difficult to sell his inclusion in the squad from next season.
He is certainly a decent player, but not at the level required by Barcelona.
For a team that always prides itself on their passing accuracy, Raphinha’s 79.7% (WhoScored) pass completion rate over the course of the season just isn’t good enough.

How many times have we seen him lose the ball in tight spaces, beat his man and then waste the resulting cross… It’ll get the crowds out of their seats when they’re in full swing, that’s true, even if it’s more of a hope than an expectation.

For every great finish or decent cross, there are three or four average ones.
It’s almost like the old rhyme: when it’s good, it’s very, very good, but when it’s bad, it’s awful.
Even very, very good games are sporadic, which is the main problem with the player.

He’s also only played 90 minutes three times this season and Xavi is a much better player judge than most of us ever will be, so obviously that speaks volumes too. If we have an opinion and want to judge the players based on their importance to the team, the Brazilian isn’t necessarily the one who gets a guaranteed starting spot, especially when Ousmane Dembele is fit.
If Leo Messi returns, it will be even more difficult to find him a place in the team.

If the reports circulating are true, then Newcastle United are at least one club that would be tempted to have the Brazilian in their ranks next season as they prepare for the Champions League for the first time in a generation.
If the Magpies – or indeed any other club – made a decent offer, Barca would be foolish not to accept it, although Raphinha is unlikely to want to leave.
It’s a shame but there are valid reasons why a sale would be the right move for the club, if not the player.
