LIV Golf cancels season finale as Saudi Arabia funding officially ends
The future of LIV Golf looks uncertain as PIF officially ends its relationship with the sporting venture.
Barcelona were reportedly open to selling their captain, Raphinha, to a Saudi Arabian club this summer, according to a new report. The Brazilian winger had been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League earlier in the transfer window, with the possibility of a lucrative deal from the Middle Eastern nation playing a significant role in Barcelona's decision-making process.
According to journalist Romain Molina, the club was prepared for life without Raphinha if a substantial offer materialized, even going so far as to sign young winger Jesse Bisiwu in anticipation of the potential departure. The financial incentive for a Raphinha sale was a key factor for Barcelona, as the Saudi clubs were known for their willingness to spend heavily on top talent.
A successful transfer fee could provide the Catalan giants with the necessary funds to bolster their squad and address their pressing need to sign a top-tier striker, particularly after their pursuit of Julian Alvarez fell through.
