Euro giants prepared to accept a cut-price fee for 26-year-old Tottenham target
Tottenham Hotspur has been mentioned as a potential suitor for Raphinha, the Barcelona winger.
According to a Football Insider report, the Spanish team is now willing to approve his exit for a projected cost of between £40 and £50 million.
Barcelona appears willing to take a lower-than-expected offer for the Brazilian winger due to their precarious financial position. It’s unclear if the 26-year-old can be acquired by the Spanish powerhouses, who are trying to raise money.
Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Liverpool are reportedly among the teams eager to sign Raphinha.
Raphinha should be a great addition for Tottenham, who need to add more talent and depth in the wide areas. He has shown himself in the Premier League with Leeds United, and at the North London club, he might have an instant impact.
The international player from Brazil will give the team more energy, style, and inventiveness. He might turn out to be a great addition for the rumored £40–50 million fee, and the player has the skills to make the investment worthwhile.
His tenure at the Spanish club has been inconsistent, and a move back to the Premier League would enable him to reach his best level again.
The Brazilian international would fit in nicely with Tottenham’s free-flowing offensive style under Ange Postecoglou and may flourish in their aggressive system.
Although Tottenham can pay the rumored asking price, it is unclear if they will be able to reach a deal with Barcelona in the upcoming months.

‘Beast’ – Tottenham star given a 10/10 rating for his international showing
After Cristian Romero helped Argentina defeat the Marcana 1-0, TyC Sports went into overdrive over the center-back.
The international football match between Brazil and Argentina is arguably the most intense, and Tuesday’s match was no exception, with supporter violence marring the game.
Due to a conflict between Brazilian police and Argentine fans in the stands, the game had to be postponed for a while (Sky Sports).
On the field, the opposition maintained composure and came away with three crucial points, with Nicolas Otamendi’s goal in the 63rd minute proving to be the difference between the two teams.
Cristian Romero was a beast in Argentina win
Romero made sure that Lionel Scaloni’s team maintained a clean sheet by keeping Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, two Arsenal players, quiet for the entire ninety minutes.
The Tottenham player received a score of 10 out of 10 from TyC Sports, who called him a “beast” and complimented him on his “personality” and leadership on the field.
Emerson Royal also participated in the whole ninety minutes of the Selecao’s sad evening.
Romero’s temperamental issues are the only thing keeping him from ranking among the world’s greatest center backs. He will undoubtedly receive a lot more recognition if he can learn to better control his aggression—and that is a major “if.”Romero can occasionally be a loose cannon, which is regrettably true, and this seems to be noted whenever he is praised these days.
