Raphinha Sparks Controversy in Barcelona: “I’d Think Twice About Whether Being at Barça Is the Best Option”
Brazilian forward Raphinha of FC Barcelona admitted that if he were outside the team and observed the situation of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor—who remain unregistered due to the club’s financial troubles—he would think twice before signing with the Blaugranas.
A Delicate Situation at Barcelona
During a press conference at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, where the team is preparing for the Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Athletic Club, Raphinha spoke candidly:
"If I were at another club and saw Pau and Dani’s situation, I might reconsider whether being here is the best choice. However, when I joined, I knew what was happening, and I don’t regret it."
Optimism Amid Uncertainty
The winger stated that the club’s message regarding the registration issues is positive: "Barça tells us things will be resolved soon, but it’s a tough situation for Dani and Pau." Despite the challenges, Raphinha urged patience and trust that the matter will be resolved quickly.
Impact on Barcelona’s Transfers
With financial control under scrutiny, Barcelona's struggles to register players like Olmo and Pau Víctor could raise concerns for future signings.
