The future of Raphinha might be settled soon as Barcelona have matched the transfer fee that was agreed between Chelsea and Leeds United.
CHELSEA FC RELEASE FULL LIST OF PLAYERS FOR PRE-SEASON TOUR
The Cataluyna side have reached an agreement of £60 million with the Premier League club according to reports from Goal, Brazil. However, the payment package will be different from what Chelsea are willing to do with Leeds.
Negotiations between Barcelona and Leeds have advanced in recent hours and the two clubs are trying to adjust the details. Leeds made it clear that they cannot wait any longer and that they need a quick response from Barcelona.
It is also being reported by some part of the media that Raphinha and his agent Deco are set to listen to offers from Chelsea if they can’t reach an agreement with Leeds. The player has also been left out of the Leeds team that travelled to Austria for the club’s pre-season tour.
