Barcelona agree to sign Chelsea’s target

It seems Chelsea are about to suffer another transfer blow as Spanish side Barcelona have revealed its readiness to sign Raphinha from Leeds United.

According to the Daily Mail, Barcelona have agreed on a deal to sign Raphinha from Leeds United.

The previous report revealed that Leeds United had put £55million up front for the Brazil winger, with another £8m in add-ons.

Leeds are not ready to accept any amount less than that for the Brazil star.

However, with the look of things, it appears the Catalans are now willing to meet the demand after weeks of negotiation.

Chelsea had earlier agreed on a similar deal with Leeds United but Raphinha favours a move to Camp Nou ahead of Stamford Bridge.

The Blues inability to sign Raphinha was part of the reason why Thomas Tuchel’s led Chelsea side quickly wrap up a deal for Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling, who has undergone his medicals on Sunday.

Aside from Chelsea, Raphinha also turned down a move to Arsenal, who were the first club to show interest in him this summer.
