FC Barcelona are interested in a Brazilian winger called Raphinha, who plays for Leeds. But are they also interested in another Brazilian winger with a similar name? We are talking about Rafinha, or Rafael Alcântara as it says on his birth certificate, the brother of Thiago and the son of FIFA World Cup winner Mazinho.
The 29-year-old played last season at Real Sociedad on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, and has received two caps from the Brazilian national team. He also played many years at Barcelona, having come up through La Masia.
He had a long association with Barcelona, including three loan spells, and while he had some success at the Camp Nou, notably being a rotation player for a treble-winning team and winning La Liga three times overall, he never quite established himself and left on a free transfer.
