If media rumors are to be believed, Liverpool has held negotiations to sign Raphinha from Barcelona.

The Brazilian international’s services have reportedly been offered to the Reds, according to an exclusive report published by TBR Football.

According to the news source, the Blaugrana have made offers to many Premier League teams, such as Arsenal and Spurs, for the Samba star.

After speaking with Liverpool and other teams, the Nou Camp team has set a price of more than £50 million for Raphinha.

Mohamed Salah will eventually depart the Merseysiders, thus they will need to spend big money to acquire a top RW to take the place of the Egyptian winger.

Although Raphinha is an excellent right winger who can also be used well on the left, is he good enough to start in Salah’s place?

The 27-year-old star helped Leeds United win the Premier League, demonstrating his value. For the Elland Road team, he tallied 12 assists and 17 goals in all competitions.

He moved to Barcelona after a fruitful spell in England, where he played a major role in their La Liga victory the previous season.

The Samba playmaker has made 35 appearances for Barcelona so far this season while playing for Xavi, and he has personally contributed to 21 goals (9 goals and 12 assists).

Because of their precarious financial situation, Barca wants to routinely use youthful Lamine Yamal on the right side and hopes to capitalize on the 22-capped international.

What say you? Should Raphinha take Salah’s place? Must Liverpool offer more than £50 million to acquire him?
