- The Stamford Bridge team is now working to close the deal with the Brazilian international, whose wish is to play for Barça.
The signing of Raphinha by Barça is complicated. Waiting to know the future intentions of Ousmane Dembélé and for the economic levers to be activated that allow money to enter to make transfers, the future of the Brazilian winger seems headed towards Chelsea .
According to the journalist Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in ‘mercato’ issues, Chelsea would have already reached an agreement with Leeds United for the transfer of Raphinha and the Londoners would be willing to pay around 75 million euros , including variables. This amount would be unaffordable for the coffers of Barça and also for Arsenal , which was the other team best placed to incorporate the talented footballer.
Raphinha had been on Chelsea ‘s agenda for some time and now the Stamford Bridge team needs to reach an agreement with the player regarding salary and the length of his contract. While his future is being defined, Raphinha is on vacation in Ibiza with Deco , his representative, so he is fully aware of the status of the offers he has on the table.
Raphinha ‘s wish was to play for Barça , but everything indicates that the Brazilian will not wear a Barça shirt next season.
