The first-place candidate of the Ballon d'Or has entered the transfer market at a cheaper price than his performance.
The British Metro reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Barcelona has set a price tag for Hafinha's transfer fee'
Hafinha is the ace of Barcelona this season. He began to make his name known in the English Premier League (EPL) as a member of Leeds during the 2021-2022 season, but he left for La Liga holding Barcelona's hand despite the courtship of several teams.
However, it was not easy to adapt to La Liga. He played in 50 official games in his first season and scored 10 goals and 12 assists, but his performance problems hampered him. In the second season, the number of games played was also reduced to 37 games, and it was frequently evaluated that the influence of the game was low even after accumulating 10 goals and 11 assists.

Coach Han Ji Flick has completely changed since he took office. Hafinha has 28 goals and 20 assists in 45 official games, playing wingers and offensive midfielders under Flick. He showed off his tremendous presence by scoring 12 goals and seven assists in the European Champions League (UCL) alone. If he only adds three offensive points, he can match the UCL record of 22 offensive points in a single season.
He is also considered a candidate for the Ballon d'Or. Mohamed Salah, a strong Ballon d'Or candidate this season, virtually lost his chance due to Liverpool's elimination from the UCL, while Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid were also on the verge of elimination after losing 0-3 in the first leg of the quarterfinals against Arsenal. If Hafinha leads Barcelona to the top of Europe with his performance, there are many prospects that he will be the most likely Ballon d'Or winner.

Barcelona, however, put Hafinha up for sale in the transfer market despite his outstanding performance. Even the transfer fee is at a bargain price considering the recent transfer market atmosphere.
Metro said 'Barcelona is expected to be open to selling Hapinha if it receives an offer of 80 million euros (about 130 billion won). Hafinha is in negotiations with Barcelona to renew his contract this season, but he is demanding a salary that Barcelona cannot afford. In the end, Deku is considering the possibility of selling Hafinha if he has an offer of more than 80 million euros. 'Hafinya also received offers from Saudi Arabia, but will not consider moving to the Middle East before the 2026 World Cup.'"
If Hafinha comes to the transfer market, the interest of English Premier League (EPL) clubs who have been recruiting Hafinha in the past is expected to be high. Metro could be recruited again by Arsenal and Chelsea, who wanted Hafinha in 2022. Both teams are expected to start recruiting strikers this summer,' he predicted.
