Foot Mercato reports that Barcelona are preparing to make an offer to Raphinha. The report presents the proposal as a major surprise involving the Brazilian winger, but provides no details on its financial terms, duration or timing. The same press review says Real Madrid supporters are placing Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior under pressure at the Santiago Bernabéu. It also mentions Liverpool’s plans for Florian Wirtz, without specifying whether this concerns a transfer proposal or another form of interest. The available information therefore centers on Barcelona’s planned approach for Raphinha, while the other items are presented as separate points in Foot Mercato’s roundup.
