He is called Brazil's Messi and could join Liverpool to replace Salah

In the world of football, the attention of the world's biggest clubs never stops. On this occasion, Liverpool FC seem to be keeping a close eye on Raphinha's situation at FC Barcelona this season. Despite a brilliant first year at Camp Nou, the Brazilian winger has struggled in his second season, leading to rumours of a possible exit in the 2024 summer transfer window.

Raphinha joined Barcelona in the summer of 2022 from Leeds United for a fee of around €58m. During his first season, he became one of the team's standout players and was a key part of Xavi's scheme. His ability to unbalance on the right wing and his ability to score goals and assists endeared him to the fans. However, in this second season, things have not gone according to plan for Raphinha. He has struggled to find his best form and has been relegated to a secondary role in Xavi Hernandez's side. The arrival of new talent and adapting to the new system of play have contributed to his decline in performance.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have been keeping a close eye on Raphinha's progress at Barcelona. With rumours persisting about Mohamed Salah's possible departure to Saudi football, the Reds are reportedly on the lookout for a new right winger to bolster their squad. Raphinha, despite his dip in form, remains a promising talent and his Premier League experience during his time at Leeds makes him even more attractive to Liverpool.

For Barcelona, the potential sale of Raphinha could be an opportunity to recoup much of the investment made in him in 2022. However, the final decision will depend on how his performance evolves in the remainder of the season and the offers that will come in for him in the upcoming summer transfer window.
