Chelsea and Newcastle United are still keeping a close eye on Raphinha after losing him to Barcelona last summer, Diario Sport's Lluis Miguelsanz reports.
The clubs know that, due to financial problems, Barca will have to raise €150m in sales next summer and hope that Raphinha will be one of the players made available for transfer.
On their part, the Catalans are aware of the interest in the Brazilian but would rather sell the players that have had a lesser role under Xavi. Raphinha, after a slowish start, has won the coach's trust and wants to continue at Camp Nou.
This term so far, the 26-year-old has recorded 9 goals and 9 assists in 37 matches (21 starts) for Barca.
