Chelsea, alongside a host of other clubs, are interested in signing Leeds United attacker Raphinha this summer.
Fabrizio Romano has provided the latest update regarding the Brazilian's future: "There are no direct negotiations with Chelsea at the moment.
“So there is no offer from Chelsea just yet, but Todd Boehly is in direct contact with Leeds and has announced that they are interested in Raphinha and so Chelsea may be able to enter the race in the next few days with the argument of also playing Champions League.
“It’s a crazy business, very open, with many clubs in the draw. I think it will be difficult for Barcelona. It’s going to be very complicated for Barcelona. English clubs have a great opportunity now if they are willing to pay €65-75m.”
Raphinha had 11 goals and three assists in 35 Premier League games last season. A fast and explosive player with good creativity and great dribbling skills, he would definitely be a great acquisition for Chelsea.
