Barcelona attacker Raphinha is reportedly considering a move away from Barcelona and back to the Premier League this summer, amid links to Arsenal and Newcastle United.

Barcelona attacker Raphinha is reportedly considering a move away from Camp Nou this summer, amid interest from Premier League sides Arsenal and Newcastle United.

The Brazilian made the switch to the Catalan club from Leeds United last summer and has been a regular part of a side who look set to lift the La Liga title, with Xavi's men 13 points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid.

The 26-year-old has played his part in Barca's title charge with 13 goal contributions in 31 league matches, but has still been linked with a move away this summer as Barcelona look to raise funds for incomings.

According to Forbes, Raphinha is considering a move back to the Premier League in the upcoming transfer window less than 12 months after leaving England, with title-chasing Arsenal and Eddie Howe's Newcastle interested in the winger.

The report adds that the former Leeds man is concerned about his gametime now that Ousmane Dembele has returned from injury, with the winger recognising that Xavi currently operates with only one natural wide player.

It is also believed that Barcelona may be forced to get rid of Raphinha this summer as they look to finance potential incomings for next season.

Barcelona can secure their first La Liga title since 2018-19 next Sunday with a win at the home of local rivals Espanyol.
