Raphinha, Still Hasn’t Changed Clubs At This Time

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Raphinha has yet to change clubs, but Raphinha has received offers from big European clubs such as Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal. Raphinha himself hoped to join Barcelona but Chelsea held him higher.

The 25-year-old player originally had a contract with Leeds United and the club opened up opportunities for offers to come. Chelsea was recently reported to have won the race.

The reason is that The Blues’ offer was accepted by Leeds at £60 million. Chelsea, at Tuchel’s request, are indeed looking for wingers to add strength up front, Chelsea are also eyeing Raheem Sterling.

The problem is that there is only one club in Raphinha’s heart, namely Barcelona. On the other hand, Barcelona were not able to match Chelsea’s offer and lastly they proposed €50 million plus a €10 million bonus to Leeds.

“Raphinha, hopes Barcelona move on with a five-year contract that has been ready since March, no final answer has been sent to Chelsea, waiting for Barcelona,” said transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

“Barcelona’s offer last Thursday: 50 million plus an additional €10 million, paid in installments. Leeds insist they have only accepted Chelsea’s offer of £60 million for now.”

According to additional information from Sport-English, Barcelona were only able to offer Leeds €55 million for Raphinha. The situation could change drastically if they succeeded in selling Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United.

Barcelona are targeting Raphinha as they need fast players on the flanks who can damage the opposing defence, especially as they anticipate the potential departure of Ousmane Dembele whose contract expired.
