Raphinha’s possible future has had a major update. The journalist specializing in transfers, Fabrizio Romano, has detailed that the race to take the player from Leeds is focused between FC Barcelona and several ‘greats’ in the Premier.
The Catalans, according to the Italian communicator, have arranged everything with the player months ago, but the English club that owns his record have no intention of selling the winger for the 40 or 45 million euros that the Barça management would offer led by Joan Laporta.
Leeds, who signed the Brazilian from Ligue 1 just a season ago, have raised their financial claims for the player considerably as interest in him increased. Arsenal, another interested party, has made a formal offer that has not left the group previously led by Marcelo Bielsa satisfied.
With or without variables, Romano assures that Raphinha’s new price would be around 70 million. The other two interested parties, both from the English Premier League, are still shown from a more distant position, although making it clear that they could make their final move at any time.

Chelsea and Tottenham are the other clubs that are studying the possible incorporation of the left-handed winger. The Spurs have communicated directly to Leeds that they want to make a first offer to sit down to negotiate for the player, whom Antonio Conte would have suggested as a key piece to try to fight in the Champions League.
The blues, for their part, must wait for the new owner of the team to start distributing tasks, or failing that, decide to do them himself. Todd Boelhy acquired the two-time Champions League champion less than a month ago and hopes that his sports advisers can give him a quick recommendation on whether to speed up the race for the international with Brazil, or prefer to look at other options, such as Osusmane Dembélé.
