# Everton: Fans split on link to Rafinha as Wolves also interested

**Plenty of Everton fans are split on a transfer link to FC Barcelona ace Rafinha as Spanish outlet [Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/oferta-china-por-rafinha-que-espera-premier-8066131) have reported that the Merseyside club as well as Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in signing him in the summer transfer window.**

According to the outlet, the two clubs from the Premier League have been closely monitoring the progress of the Brazilian international for a long time and both could well make an offer.

However, the Catalan giants are looking for a fee of 16 million euros, which is the equivalent of around £14.4 million, for his services, as there is already a team in the Chinese Super League willing to pay that sum.

Indeed, Rafinha could well bring a winning mentality to Carlo Ancelotti’s side having [won the UEFA Champions League and several other titles with Barca](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafinha/erfolge/spieler/129473), and at  27 years of age, should arguably be hitting his prime years.

However, his goal and assist contribution is perhaps a little low for an attacking midfield player who also played further forward on the wing in the 2019/20 season, but only managed just four goals and a mere two assists in 33 games in all competitions both for Barcelona and while he was on loan at Celta Vigo, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafinha/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/129473/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

Rafinha has also [never played his football in England before](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafinha/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/129473/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) and so may struggle to adapt to the top flight.
