Barcelona winger, Raphinha has reportedly received two massive offers to leave the club at the end of the season.
The forward is having an incredible season with Barcelona and is a contender for this year’s Ballon d’Or. Raphinha has helped Hansi Flick’s team contend for the quadruple with an amazing 30 goals and 23 assists in 49 games thus far.
Barcelona trounced Real Madrid 5-2 in the Supercopa de Espana (Spanish Super Cup) earlier this year and will also meet Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) final on Saturday.
With five games left, Barcelona lead Madrid by four points in La Liga. They will also play Inter Milan in the Champions League semifinals.

Although, both parties have not yet reached an agreement, Raphinha and Barca have discussed a new contract.
Clubs in the Premier League and Saudi Arabia find favor from this as they attempt to entice the Brazilian star away from Barcelona.
Sport, a Catalan publication, reports that the Saudis recently had new talks with both the Spanish giants and Raphinha’s representatives.
To make a “strong push” and attempt to close the deal, a delegation traveled to Barcelona from the Middle East.
Since Al-Hilal are prepared to “invest a lot of money” this summer if they lose the league title to Al-Ittihad, they are the Saudi Pro League team most likely to bring in Raphinha.
The club have reportedly handed an impressive four-year contract worth $200 million (€176 million or £150 million) to the attacker, which comes to about €844,000 (£722k) a week.
Al-Hilal are also willing to submit a bid worth €100 million (£85.5m) to Barcelona for Raphinha.
