Everton manager Roberto Martinez could try to take Barcelona youngster Rafinha on loan next season, The 21-year-old midfielder has impressed in his time with the club so far, though he faces plenty of competition for a regular place in Barcelona's starting lineup next year.
This could mean he is available for a loan move again, and Everton will hope to be able to bring another exciting young prospect to Goodison Park for a season.
Rafinha is the younger brother of Bayern Munich star Thiago Alcantara, who left Barcelona last summer.
We were very strongly linked with him last year, then he went to Celta Vigo, without any evidence we had actually even looked at him. I imagine the same will happen again.
