Rafinha's father has denied Barça exit talk over his son
Rafinha's future lies with Barcelona and the player has no intention to listen to offers from other clubs, according to his father, Mazinho.
The 23-year-old's father refuted quotes in El Desmarque on Monday claiming that his son would be returning to Celta Vigo, where he spent a season-long loan spell during the 2013/14 campaign.
Mazinho was angered by the article mentioning his name as a source of information and subsequently setup his own Twitter account to deny the rumours.
"All the news coming out about Rafinha in relation to Celta Vigo is a lie," he stated.
Todas las noticias que salen de Rafinha con relación al celta de Vigo,es todo mentira.

Although some questions were raised about the veracity of the account, Rafihan's sister, Thaisa, confirmed it was indeed official and created by Mazinho.
La cuenta de mi padre a sido creada principalmente por que estaba harto de los rumores que circulan! No es ningun fake su cuenta 😘

The Alcantara family are pulling no punches to quash the speculation linking Rafinha with an exit from the Camp Nou, and the midfielder is fully aware of the confidence placed in him by Luis Enrique to succeed in the first-team.
Rafinha is currently away on international duty with Brazil and will represent the Verde-Amarelha at the Rio Olympic Games alongside Barça team-mate Neymar.
