Barcelona’s Raphinha is ‘top target’ for Man City if Mahrez leaves for Saudi Arabia

Manchester City are being tipped to make a move for Barcelona forward Raphinha if Riyad Mahrez completes a move to Saudi Arabia.

Mahrez is wanted by Al-Ahli before the start of the new season, and the rumor mill is pretty confident the deal will go through.

Manchester City would then need to bring in a replacement and are already thinking about Raphinha, according to Foot Mercato. The interest is said to be “concerete.”

The report reckons that Txiki Begiristain has already been in touch with Deco to sound out the possibility of a move.
