The midfielder thinks it may be best to move on from Camp Nou this summer

He feels Luis Enrique's departure will see his role in the first team decrease

Rafinha is weighing up leaving FC Barcelona at the end of the season. And the Brazilian international,who has a contract until 2020, is leaning towards making a summer exit, according to Esports Cope on Wednesday. 

The Barça midfielder, according to the same report, feels that the departure of Luis Enrique will see him lose his weight in the Barça team. It's a decision he was already thinking about before picking up a season-ending injury -- but now it's taken on more strength. 

Rafinha wants to go to the World Cup in Russia in 2018 with Brazil and that's why he needs to play regularly. For that reason he has let Barça know he is thinking of departing at the end of the current campaign. 

Barça, Esports Cope continued, have limited their response to saying he can only leave in exchange for between 30 and 40 million euros. It seems they do not want a repeat of what happened with his brother, Thiago, who left for Bayern for a very affordable price. 

There is interest from the Premier League and Serie A in Rafinha.
