The problem is that Rafinha doesn't see himself as a utility player and certainly not his father who is his agent. In the same fashion his brother (Thiago Alcántara) made a move for his career, the same will probably happen in the end with Rafinha. I doubt Rafinha will be a Barcelona player by the time the summer transfer window closes.
As for my Spanish sports front pages thread, I've been really really busy mate and I'll get back to it in the new year.
