The player's father and agent, Mazinho, is already in Sevilla talking with Betis as Rafinha wants regular playing time this season
Ernesto Valverde confirmed in his press conference ahead of the match with Alaves that Rafinha was "another member of the squad" but the footballer didn't even play a single minute of that match. He was a starter in the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla though.
Despite those reassuring words from the head coach, Rafinha is looking for a new club so that he can play more often than he believes he would at Barça this season. According to RAC1 this Monday, the midfielder is negotiating a loan move to Real Betis. The radio station claims Rafinha would fit in perfectly with Quique Setien's plans at the club following their 3-0 home defeat to Levante last Friday.
