Barcelona star Raphinha believes that players will think twice before joining the Catalan club following the recent registration issues involving Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
Both La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation rejected the registration of Olmo and Victor, prompting Barça to appeal to the Supreme Sports Council, with expectations of further legal action.
Ahead of the match against Athletic Bilbao, Raphinha was asked about his opinion on the crisis and its potential impact. He responded, “Yes, I think it will affect Barcelona’s future signings.”
He added, “If I were at another club and saw the situation Pau and Dani are going through, I might have thought twice about whether staying here is the best option. But I’m here, and I fully understand the situation.”
He continued, “I trust the club’s management, and I know they are working hard to overcome these challenges. We are here to help the team return to its rightful place.”
Raphinha concluded, “In fact, I waited until the last moment when I wanted to join Barcelona, and I don’t regret anything. I knew what I was getting into, and I am proud to represent this great club.”
Raphinha is enjoying a stellar season, having scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in 25 matches across all competitions.
