Barcelona’s Raphinha push not Dembele dependent - report

Barcelona’s options in the attack were previously thought to be quite lacking, but due to an excellent winter transfer window and the re-emergence of Ousmane Dembele under Xavi, the frontline is flourishing.

That hasn’t stopped future plans from taking place. Xavi is keen on bolstering the attack this summer and Leeds United’s Raphinha has been at the center of the boss’s attention.

It was previously thought that any move for Raphinha would be in lieu of a new Ousmane Dembele contract. However, according to a report from Spain, Barca view him as a complimentary piece to Dembele.
