Real Betis explain why Rafinha move fell through

Real Betis president Angel Haro has explained why a summer move for Barcelona’s Rafinha fell through.

The Brazilian seemed set to leave the Camp Nou during the transfer window, but a move failed to happen and he will now stay with Barcelona.

Real Betis moved for PSG’s Giovani Lo Celso instead, and Haro has given his view on the summer’s events.

He was our first alternative to Lo Celso. PSG was asking for a forced option to buy at a price we couldn’t afford, so we focused on Rafinha.
