Tottenham, after the disappointing season that they are having, should be bracing up for substantial changes in the squad for the upcoming season. They do need to upgrade their squad in the summer if the club want to give happiness to the fans who deserve and expect better results. The club have struggled for goals and Tottenham should definitely look at a world-class forward.
It is probable that Timo Werner might leave the club in the summer. With the injury issues to Richarlison and Heung Min-Son at the fag end of his career, the Lilly Whites are in need of a world-class forward who can bring creativity and also goals for the club. They will be desperately looking for someone like that in the transfer market.
Tottenham are interested in signing Raphinha
Give Me Sport earlier reported that Spurs are interested in signing Raphinha in the summer. The Brazilian has been in breathtaking form for Barcelona in all competitions and is also a contender for the Ballon d’Or. Although he is an integral part of the plans for Hansi Flick, the financial struggles of Barcelona mean that they would have to consider a big offer for the Brazilian.
Fichajes has reported that Barcelona would be letting Raphinha leave if they got an offer of around €120 million for him. Raphinha is a whirlwind of flair and firepower on the wing. The Brazilian’s sensational pace and dazzling footwork leave defenders grasping at air, while his whip-like crossing turns chances into goals. His work rate is relentless, pressing high and tracking back with equal gusto.
Raphinha’s long-range shooting is a spectacle—rockets that can change a game in an instant. At 28, he is hitting his prime, possessing raw athleticism with a growing footballing brain. Whether cutting inside or hugging the touchline, his unpredictability keeps opponents guessing. For Barcelona, he’s a spark of chaos in Hansi Flick’s system.

The Brazilian has scored 13 goals in 27 matches so far in the La Liga 2024/2025 season. He has amassed a G/A of 21 for this season. He passes the ball roughly 38.76 times during a game with a pass completion rate of 77.93%. Raphinha also plays 3.08 key passes each game. Overall, his xA (Expected Assists) output is 0.37 per 90 minutes.
Should Spurs make the move for him for that price?
Tottenham fans should be excited about Raphinha, but €120 million should have them sweating. With Timo Werner likely off, Richarlison’s injuries, and Son nearing the end, they need a top forward badly. Raphinha’s pace, flair, and goals scream world-class—perfect to light up Tottenham’s attack.
He is a Ballon d’Or contender at 28 and could be their statement signing. But that price tag is a big punch. Barcelona’s loss could be Tottenham’s gain, yet €120 million might bleed the club dry when they have other gaps. If Tottenham can barter it down to €90-100 million, we’d say pull the trigger—otherwise, it’s a risky splurge.
