Rafinha Transfer, Barcelona Want It to End Soon

DBasia.news – FC Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde will wait patiently until the end of summer transfer market. The former coach of Athletic Bilbao is still observing the situation of the transfer market while looking for the right playing scheme along with the current squad.

Valverde has no prediction of who will be the key players this season. Of course, the players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Ivan Rakitic involved in his plan. But, he wants the certainty of the players who stay or the possibility of a new signing.

Above all, Barcelona players can still leave until the end of August. Otherwise, there might be a new signing besides Malcom, Clement Lenglet, Arthur Melo, and Arturo Vidal. The player who has the probability to leave is Rafinha Alcantara.

The 25-year-old midfielder was loaned to Celta Vigo and Inter Milan last season. Rafinha was the alumnus of Barcelona academy who didn’t get many chances to play with the main squad, hence his name on the transfer list.

“I’m very happy with Rafinha’s impact in pre-season. He has played very well and integrated into the squad, but we are unsure what will happen as the window does not close until August 31. Personally, I want the market to close now so that I know my squad and which players I can count on for this season,” Valverde said reported by Marca.

Rafinha could follow Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes’ move who joined Everton. But, Rafinha won’t join English clubs because the transfer market has closed. If he returns to Inter, they have to move fast in securing him because the Italian transfer market will end this Friday.
