It feels as though a lot of people, especially in the media, don&#8217;t like to see me here,&#8221; he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raphinha also took aim at journalists, accusing some of spreading misinformation. &#8220;The journalist who wrote that story has already published other lies, claiming I was undecided or had internal discussions about my future. These reports often omit important and relevant details,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to &#8216;ESPN Brasil&#8217;, FC Barcelona are considering selling a key player in the next transfer window to raise around 100 million euros. However, Raphinha remains highly valued by the coach and technical staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raphinha tackles speculation over his Barcelona future and underlines his value to the squad before the &#8216;El Clasico&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1625"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1627,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625\/revisions\/1627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
