The Gunners, alongside Liverpool and Chelsea, are believed to be admirers of the Brazilian forward as his future at the Nou Camp looks increasingly uncertain.
Raphinha could leave Barcelona after a career-best season under Hansi Flick, with intermediaries informing interested clubs that he may be available for around £80m this summer.
While the former Leeds United winger has shown no desire to leave Spain, his current contract runs until June 2027, and the La Liga leaders are aware of the need to extend his deal.

According to Bailey, intermediaries have indicated to Arsenal that a summer move for Raphinha is possible, and the Gunners are keeping close tabs on the 28-year-old’s situation.
Mikel Arteta’s side are in the market for a new wide forward and have also earmarked another La Liga star, Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, as one of their main options.
Raphinha, meanwhile, has held preliminary contract talks with Barcelona and remains open to extending his stay, despite growing interest from the Premier League.
The Brazilian, praised as ‘the best player in the world’, has been in exceptional form under Flick this season, scoring 30 goals and registering 23 assists in 49 appearances.
