Rafinha Alcantara

[Rozay]

After his brother went down in caf history last summer, some reports in Spain have suggested recently that we are willing to go in for the other one this summer.

Been on loan at Celta Vigo this season and has apparently been very impressive, although I haven't seen much of him this year. Pretty much same spiel as last year, an affordable release clause at 30 million euros, a midfielder, and a the club with a blue and red shirt.

I thought his main position is AM not CM?

it's grand, we'll just convert him like we did with Anders... never mind.

Last i heard he was off to Everton on loan.

All i know is he's very talented & quite the dirty bugger, based on that video of Thiago and Rafinha when they were little

Grooming him as Xavi's replacement, as the timing of his integration into the Barca setup will be much more in line with Xavi's phasing out.

I could well be wrong though.

He went on loan to Celta Vigo and is apparently doing really well there. I read an article last week that we were interested.

 

[JaffyJoe]

I read some Barca trainers felt he can be better than Thiago and that he is doing well at Celta. I will try and catch their game on the weekend.

 

[Joemo]

Doesn't he play just off of the striker?

 

[Nedved]

If he also goes to Bayern, they could play:

Rafinha - Thiago - Rafinha

There is no such role at Barcelona.
