The 26-year-old still has four years left on his Camp Nou deal which he only signed last summer.

And with seven goals and seven assists in Barcelona’s march to the La Liga title, it might be wondered why there is speculation on his future.

Barcelona’s financial issues essentially mean no player in unsellable, Raphinha included.

Now, with Man City set to sell Riyad Mahrez to Al-Ahli, he’s reportedly viewed as the replacement for the Algerian.

That’s forced Sky Bet to slash their odds of signing him into 11/10 – when they were bigger than 20/1 just six weeks ago.

They’re the leaders in the betting market, ahead of any Saudi League side at 12/1 and Arsenal at 14/1.

Newcastle were strongly linked with a move earlier in the window but have since moved out to 16/1.

Chelsea (25/1), Bayern Munich (33/1) and Tottenham (33/1) round off the betting.
