Arsenal wanted to buy Barcelona winger Rafinha in the winter, Diario Sport reports.
In January, the Gunners' management offered 70 million euros for the 26-year-old. However, the Catalans refused to let the Brazilian go, despite the club's financial difficulties. The Blaugranas head coach Javi Hernandez is counting on the player and sees him in the future project.
It will be recalled that in the summer of 2022, Barcelona paid Leeds €58 million plus bonuses for Rafinha. This season, the midfielder played 32 matches for the Catalans in all competitions, scoring seven goals and making nine assists.
