Everton and Wolves ‘ask about Barcelona’s £14.5m-rated midfielder Rafinha’… so, could he be reunited with brother Thiago Alcantara on Merseyside this summer?
- Everton and Wolves have both enquired about Barcelona midfielder Rafinha
- Barcelona are demanding £14.5m for Rafinha, who was on loan at Celta Vigo
- Rafinha’s brother Thiago Alcantara is a target for Liverpool in this window
Everton and Wolves have both reportedly enquired about Barcelona midfielder Rafinha.
The 27-year-old spent the season on loan at Celta Vigo and there were suggestions that he could join the LaLiga side on a permanent deal.
However, as reported by Sport, there is also Premier League interest in Rafinha, with Everton and Wolves seeing him as a possible option ahead of next season.
Everton and Wolves have reportedly enquired about a deal for Barcelona midfielder Rafinha
Rafinha has a release clause of €16million (£14.5m) in his contract, which is how much Barcelona are demanding for him, with Celta Vigo having only offered €10m (£9m).
There is much interest in Rafinha, with Italian sides and a Chinese club, believed to be Shanghai Shenhua, said to be monitoring the situation.
A product of Barcelona’s La Masia academy, Rafinha has made 90 senior appearances for the club but has been sent out on loan on three occasions.
Celta Vigo were interested in signing Rafinha permanently but a move hasn’t materialised
If Rafinha signed for Everton he could be joined in Merseyside by his brother Thiago, who is wanted by Liverpool
If Rafinha did make the switch to Everton he could be reunited with his brother Thiago Alcantara in Merseyside.
Liverpool are interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder, who was also previously at Barcelona.
