The Brazilian would be a superb addition to the Everton squad.
Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has already made some impressive signings this summer, spending heavily on both Davy Klaassen and Jordan Pickford, but it could be argued that the Dutchman still needs that ‘x-factor’ signing to help transform his side into genuine contenders for a Champions League spot.
With this in mind, Everton should consider a move for Barcelona star Rafinha, who continues to be overlooked in favour of the La Liga giant’s famous front three, especially for vitally important matches.
The 24-year-old Brazilian is incredibly versatile, and can play all along the midfield, as well as any position across the front-line.

He possesses exceptional technical ability, and his wonderful vision could make a huge difference to the potency of the Blues’ attacking play.
With the Toffees’ currently desperately short in the wide attacking department, the Barcelona man could be a signing of real significance, as far as their hopes of a place inside the top four this season are concerned.
Rafinha can also play as an auxiliary centre-forward, should Koeman find himself short of options in that position throughout the course of the campaign.
Despite his tender years, the Barca man possesses a footballing CV that will be the envy of the majority of his peers, with two league titles, four Copa del Reys and a Champions League winners medal to his name.
That kind of experience and winning mentality could be crucial for Everton next season, as Koeman looks to take his side to another level, and challenge for major honours on all fronts.
According to Marca, the Brazil international is valued at around £26 million by Barcelona, and what an outstanding piece of business that would represent, if the Toffees boss managed to bring him to Goodison Park this summer.
