Regarded as a major coup following his arrival from Leeds United in the summer of 2022, Raphinha's performances in a Barcelona jersey have been solid but not spectacular for a couple of years now.
The Spanish champions beat Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to the signature of the Brazil international, who has posted a respectable set of numbers with 19 goals and 24 assists in 84 games across all tournaments.
Raphinha has nine goals and 12 assists to boast from 34 games in the current campaign, including three strikes against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and assists in back-to-back La Liga matches with Real Madrid and Valencia.
Despite his respectable set of numbers this season, and his long-running contract until 2027, the 27-year-old is just one of a plethora of players whom Barcelona will entertain offers for in the summer transfer window.
Barcelona want Viktor Tsygankov as Raphinha successor?According to Fichajes, Barcelona have lined up Girona winger Viktor Tsygankov as a potential candidate to take the reins from Raphinha amid his side's remarkable La Liga campaign.
The 26-year-old left Dynamo Kyiv for a mere €5m (£4.3m) in the January 2023 window and has since turned out for Girona on 48 occasions, scoring nine goals and setting up 10 more.
Tsygankov has been hampered by hamstring, leg, knee and calf injuries this season, but he has proven his worth to head coach Michel when fit, contributing six goals and four assists from 25 La Liga matches.
