# Liverpool keen on wantaway Barca star Rafinha

Liverpool are reportedly holding an interest in out-of-favour Barcelona attacker Rafinha.

According to a report from the printed version of Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo – a source close to Barca – as cited by [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-genuine-chance-signing-barcelona-squad-player-hes-keen-minutes/), the Reds are exploring the possibility of moving in for the Brazilian and could look to make a summer offer to lure him away from the Nou Camp.

It’s claimed in the report that Rafinha is well aware that he will not be breaking into Barca’s first-team on a consistent basis in the near future, which has prompted him to consider an exit from the La Liga side in order to boost his chances of securing regular football elsewhere.

Rafinha is keen to have a good season in order to push to be in Brazil’s squad ahead of the 2018 World Cup, but will need to get regular first-team football under his belt to do so.

Juventus and Arsenal are also claimed to be interested.
