The star of Barcelona who refuses the arrival of Messi and prefers to leave the club

In FC Barcelona they already showed that they are completely predisposed for the return of Lionel Messi to become a reality. Joan Laporta began to manage the signing and the Culés fans chant the name of the captain of the Argentine National Team whenever they can, so it seems almost impossible for any culé to deny Leo's return. However, there are always exceptions.

As is public knowledge, the economic situation of the Blaugrana team is delicate, but not impossible to solve. To do this, the board of directors presented a viability plan to La Liga, which was already known to be approved. Once that happens, you'll get to work making the sales you need.

The main ones targeted to leave Catalonia are Ferran Torres, Eric García, Franck Kessié, Ansu Fati and Raphinha. However, the latter has already warned that he does not plan to leave Barcelona just so they can finalize Messi's return. According to the journalist Jaime Navarro, he flatly refuses to leave despite the fact that he would be the footballer who would leave the most money for the culés coffers.

Raphinha, a millionaire signing with a stone in the shoe

The winger landed at the Camp Nou in July 2022 in exchange for 58 million euros from Leeds United of England. After almost a year, his performance has not justified the money invested and the Barça board was counting that they could get at least 50 million for his token in a sale to Newcastle. Now, the refusal of the player, and his agent Deco of him, changed the landscape and the situation becomes a little more complicated.
