Rafinha Asks for Transfer as Barcelona Look for Replacement - Reports

Rafinha has asked Ernesto Valverde to let him leave for more playing time, according to RAC1. The midfielder has been the subject of intense transfer speculation over a possible loan move to Real Betis. But, according to the report, Barcelona will only let him leave if he can secure a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligatory buy clause. At the moment, it seems Betis only offer a 1.5 million euro loan fee, plus an option to purchase.

Diario SPORT reports the same disagreement, Barcelona want a transfer or a loan with a mandatory clause, but Betis only offer a loan with an option to buy, or one that is only mandatory under certain conditions.
