Rafinha is expected to join a Premier League side this summer
Koeman has yet to speak with the midfielder but he's expected to be sold in order to fund other moves
Rafinha is fully expected to leave Barça this summer and it appears his destination is the Premier League. The Brazilian midfielder has one year left on his contract and has been training alongside the new signings in Barcelona as he awaits news on his future.
Rafinha is available for just €16m which should generate plenty of interest, especially from England.
Everton, Arsenal or West Ham
Everton are one of the clubs who have kept an eye on Rafinha recently and you can't rule out West Ham or Arsenal either.
Although the midfielder has a rumoured offer from Lazio, he isn't expected to return to Italy after a successful loan spell with Inter.
It also seems unlikely anyone else in LaLiga would be able to afford a move for Rafinha. The player's prior injury problems are also likely to scare off significant bids from Spain.
Ronald Koeman
The new man in charge, Ronald Koeman, will want to talk with the player first. Although it seems the decision has already been made in regards to Rafinha's future. Like last summer, there is no immediate rush to get a deal over the line. If he does indeed go on to play in the Premier League he could be joined by his brother Thiago who has been linked with a move to Liverpool.
