Barcelona's Brazilian star Rafinha had serious offers from some of the world's top leagues even before he signed for his dream club, the player candidly admitted in an interview with reporters.
The journalist asked: "Did you receive serious and high-level offers from big clubs in the English Premier League and Saudi Arabia every year before you came to Barça?" Rafinha replied: "Yes, it's true. Receiving such serious offers shows that I am of high quality. If a player does not play at a high level, big clubs in the Premier League or other world-famous teams will not make him an offer. But for me, it was more important not to accept such offers, but to be a Barcelona player," he said.

I have been to this city and the legendary Camp Nou stadium before, and every time I have been there, my love for this atmosphere has grown even more. My biggest dream was to play for this club and write my name in the pages of its legendary history," the player said.
Rafinha also explained why he turned down offers from other famous clubs: "Every player has different offers, but for me, the main thing was not money or other benefits, but to fulfill my dreams. Wearing the Barcelona shirt, playing in front of my fans and playing with the best players in the world - this was the goal I had been striving for all my life."
At the same time, Rafinha noted that making this decision was not easy: "It took a lot of courage, because I could have signed good contracts at other big clubs. But I listened to my heart and chose Barça. I do not regret this choice and I am happy every day to be in this team. I'm enjoying it."
