Saudi giants Al Nassr are keen to rope in Barcelona winger Raphinha, according to reports.

Raphinha joined the Spanish club from Leeds United in 2022, and so far hasn't hit the ground running with the Cules. And now he has been tipped to make a move to Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Pro League has been a destination for many top European football stars this summer. The likes of Sadio Mane, Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Karim Benzema, Neymar and many others have left Europe to seek new pastures in Saudi Arabia. And the latest to the list is rumoured to be Raphinha.

The Brazilian had a disappointing first season in Spain where he could manage only 10 goals across all competitions. This season hasn't started brightly as the player was sent off in Barcelona's first league match against Getafe.

And according to Gianluigi Longari, a journalist from 'Sportitalia', Al Nassr are seriously interested in bringing him to the club and have already made an initial approach.

Although the Brazilian winger has repeatedly emphasized his will to establish himself at Barcelona, a gigantic money offer along with the incentive of playing alongside the likes of Sadio Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo can be a swinging factor.

After Longari's declaration, several Saudi outlets have supported the theory and believe a deal is about to be struck. There are also reports that Al Nassr are also keeping tabs on Antoine Griezmann. Luis Castro wants to bring in either Griezmann ot Raphinha amid the uncertainty in Anderson Talisca's future.
