The agent of Macarthur youngster Raphael Borges Rodrigues has revealed that he will move to Europe soon.
Raphael has been heavily linked with a move to Rangers this summer and the 20-year-old could now have played his last game for Macarthur with the A-League season over.
Former Rangers defender Craig Moore has praised the winger and believes he could be a strong talent and that's something Fahid Ben Khalfallah agrees with.
He scored six goals and set up another two during his 33 appearances in the A-League this season and is believed to be attracting plenty of interest from teams across the UK and Europe.
Rangers are one of those sides being linked with him while Coventry and others in the English Championship and mainland Europe want to sign him too.

His agent is confident he has the mentality and ability to make the move a success immediately and although he still has another year left on his contract.
Ben Khalfallah has just returned to Australia from the UK and told FTBL: “There is definitely interest from clubs in England, Scotland and also in mainland Europe.
“But he’s still contracted with Macarthur for next season and has a lot of respect for them. The way things stand, I imagine he’s a player who will be moving to Europe in the near future.
“I really like him and believe he’s one of the best young talents in Australia, especially in terms of skill and mentality.
“He has big potential and what also makes a big difference is his work ethic and attitude off the field.
“He’s a top kid who has a great desire to succeed - and he quickly takes on board and absorbs information to help improve his game.
“He wants to go to Europe and succeed - he doesn’t just want to go for the sake of making a move.
“He’s not only a great kid, he's going to have a good career."
