Barcelona player Raphinha picks Arsenal as one of two clubs he’s a fan of
Raphinha, a winger for Barcelona, has admitted to being a fan of Arsenal, listing the Gunners and PSG as the two teams he likes most outside of Spain.
The Evening Standard has recently linked the Brazil international with Arsenal. He moved from Leeds United to Barcelona in the summer of 2022 after a successful Premier League stint.
Raphinha has stated that he has no desire to play for Barcelona’s rivals Real Madrid, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano in the tweet that follows.

As he establishes himself as a key player at the Nou Camp, it remains to be seen how realistic it would be for Arsenal to acquire his services.
Xavi must be pleased with the 26-year-old’s performance, so it is unlikely that the club will sell him anytime soon.
Raphinha’s admiration for Arsenal will undoubtedly intrigue fans of the club, so this could be something to consider in the future.
