If Raphinha is world class then the barometer for that level must be pretty damned low. He was absolute rubbish for about half of last season.
He's a very good player, but he isn't elite. He's not one of the best in the world. Mo Salah is world class. Raphinha is miles away from that level.
Arsenal have now bid £70m for Raphinha
There’s no doubt he has world class ability but Lubo is right about consistency of performance. He blows really hot and cold. Now maybe with better players around him he’d feel less reason to try the killer pass at the wrong time, maybe in better sides where he wasn’t the main danger man he’d get given a bit more space and thrive. That’s what these top clubs have to assess when making their valuations. Does he have it between the ears to adapt his game in a better side. He always puts a shift in and on his day, he’s as good as anyone. On his bad days he’s actually a bit of a liability.
