Despite Rafinha impressing fans during his time with Barcelona, the Brazil star has failed to make a significant impact at the Camp Nou.

The playmaker has only managed to make a lowly total of 79 appearances for Ernesto Valverde’s side since making his first team debut for the club in the 2011/12 season.

If Barcelona are willing to let the player go and listen to Messi, it’ll be interesting to see if West Ham end up swooping in for the Brazilian and taking him off the Blaugrana’s hands.
