Raphinha has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle since last summer when the club were believed to be interested in him.
The Brazilian was not interested in leaving Barcelona at that juncture and made it clear to the Catalan giants that he would be staying put.
The talk around Newcastle and the Brazilian winger is back in the January transfer window with suggestions that the Magpies are in contact with the Blaugrana.
But it has been claimed that Newcastle are unlikely to sign the winger in the ongoing window
The St James’ Park club have played down any suggestions that they are looking to sign Raphinha.
Newcastle have a limited budget to play with given their worries about breaking the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations
The club are only considering loans and free transfers in the ongoing transfer window and Raphinha does not look likely to be arriving on Tyneside.
