Al Hilal may be close to including the fifth Brazilian player in its ranks, as the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” confirmed that a call had been made between Blue Wave coach Jorge Jesus and Barcelona star Raphinha in the past hours.
The Saudi club currently owns the Brazilian quartet Michel Delgado, Neymar, Renan Lodi and Malcom, and work is in full swing to bring in the fifth.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Portuguese urged Raphinha to move to Al Hilal this summer, and promised him that he would earn a salary much more than what he currently receives with Barcelona.
At the same time, the report confirmed that Barcelona does not mind selling Raphinha, but is asking for 90 million euros to allow him to move to Al Hilal.
Barca realizes that by earning a sum like this, it can make a major contract to support the team this summer, specifically talking about Liverpool star Luis Diaz.
It is noteworthy that Raphinha joined Barcelona two years ago from Leeds United for 58 million euros.
