Transfer rumours: Barcelona ready two Raphinha offers, Lautaro Martinez 'not thinking about leaving'
By 90min Staff
Barcelona are readying two separate offers to sign Leeds winger Raphinha which are dependant on the Whites' Premier League safety. The Brazil international is believed to have a £25m relegation release clause, but Barça would be willing to pay more than that in order to oust the competition for his signature.
Meanwhile, Adama Traore is expected to return to Wolves at the end of the season as Barcelona do not intend to trigger his €30m purchase option.
Arsenal and Tottenham transfer target Lautaro Martinez could yet remain at Inter, with the player's agent claiming that he 'is not thinking about' leaving San Siro. It's been reported that the Nerazzurri consider Paulo Dybala, who is expected to join from Juventus, as his ideal replacement.

Wilfried Zaha could leave Crystal Palace this summer however as he does not intend to sign a new contract. His current deal is up in 2023 and the Eagles may look to recoup a transfer fee.
If Real Madrid are to enter the transfer market for a new striker, then Romelu Lukaku is top of their list. Primary centre-forward target Erling Haaland is expected to join Manchester City.
Arsenal are making a 'very serious' attempt to sign France winger Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga side are holding out for a €100m fee but are likely to accept offers in the region of €75m.
