Barcelona 'put £14m price tag on Rafinha Alcantara'

Barcelona midfielder Rafinha Alcantara, who is on loan at Celta Vigo, is reportedly up for sale for around £14m this summer to raise funds for an attacker.

Barcelona are reportedly willing to part ways with midfielder Rafinha Alcantara for 17 million euros this summer.

Quique Setien's side have been dealt a huge blow with the news that Ousmane Dembele will be sidelined for the next six months, and are in desperate need of an attacker with Luis Suarez also out injured.

However, the Catalan giants failed to bring in a replacement in the January transfer window and are looking to ship out the 26-year-old Rafinha to raise funds for the next window.

According to Marca, the Brazil international, who has spent this season on loan at Celta Vigo, will be able to leave Barcelona in the summer for €17m (£14.3m) despite setting a €75m (£63m) buyout clause last season.

Rafinha has made 15 appearances for Celta this season, registering two goals and one assist in that time as Oscar Garcia's side sit two points above the relegation zone.

The 26-year-old joined Barcelona's youth ranks at the age of 13 and has won three La Liga titles and one Champions League with the Blaugrana.
