The Barcelona ace would be an excellent addition for Everton.
Barcelona ace Rafinha’s father and agent Mazinho told Radio Galicia Sport how his son and client is looking to leave the Camp Nou in an effort to gain more regular first-team action, and with this in mind Everton should consider a January swoop for the Brazilian.
Marco Silva has already made a huge difference since his time in charge of the Toffees, but it could be argued that he still needs to bring in more competition for the likes of Theo Walcott, Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Rafinha, 25, would be the ideal addition to the Everton squad, what with his exceptional technical ability, creative nouse, and undeniable all-round quality.
The Brazilian’s father admitted that his son is looking to leave Catalonia in January in search of more regular action:
“It’s crazy, he can’t understand anything, Only the coach knows what he has or doesn’t have. The truth is that we’re trying to get Rafa into a situation where he plays regularly. We have to look for an exit because it’s really complicated for him here (at Barcelona). ‘It’s been basically two years hardly playing and he needs a club to give him 30 or 40 games a season.”
The Barcelona man is incredibly versatile, and can play anywhere along the front-line, as well as in the deeper lying midfield positions.
He would also bring a real winning mentality to Everton, having won two La Liga titles, five Copa del Reys and a Champions League.
Everton sometimes lack a certain kind of creative guile in the final third, and Rafinha would instantly solve that problem.
According to Transfer Markt, he is valued at £25.2 million, and in today’s day and age, that would represent excellent value for money for the Merseyside outfit, and they should not hesitate to make a January move for the Barca ace.
The 25-year-old earns £60,000 per week at Barcelona, according to Sportek, so Everton would easily be able to afford the versatile South American.
