Newcastle are reportedly willing to push ahead with a move for Barcelona's Brazilian winger ahead of potential Champions League football next season.
Barcelona winger Raphinha has had a bit of a mixed season for the Blaugrana and the club are reportedly open to cashing in on him for the right price.
Barcelona's Raphinha on the move?
According to Spanish publication Sport via SportWitness, Newcastle United are willing to spend up to €80 million on the 26-year-old.
The report further states that Newcastle are in the market for a new right-sided attacker and with Barcelona pursuing a move for Lionel Messi this summer, Raphinha's place in the starting team could suffer as a result.
The Brazil international has 10 goals and 12 assists to his name across all competitions and he will certainly prove to be an upgrade on the likes of Miguel Almiron and Jacob Murphy.
