Explained: Why Barcelona will 'push' Raphinha to leave this summer - despite forward scoring crucial Las Palmas winner

The Brazilian's journey in the current season has been rocked by several injuries, yet remains the third-highest goalscorer for Barcelona in La Liga this year. His winner against Las Palmas on Saturday was the winger's fifth league goal and he is now just behind Robert Lewandowski (13) and Joao Felix (6).

However, SPORT claims that the Catalan giants will consider selling the player if the right offer arrives in the upcoming summer transfer window. After Ousmane Dembele left for Paris Saint-Germain last summer, Raphinha was promoted as the first-choice right winger by Xavi. However, the Brazil international failed to live up to the expectations as time and again Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres has taken his place in the Barcelona starting lineup.

The reigning Spanish champions have to sell players in the upcoming window due to their financial constraints and would be willing to accept if the right offer is made for Raphinha, although it remains to be seen if the former Leeds United star agrees to move out of Camp Nou. Regardless, the club are understood to be willing to push him towards the exit door.

After a much-needed win in La Liga, Xavi's side will now shift their focus to Europe as they are set to face Paris Saint-Germain next in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
