According to reports in Sport, Chelsea are interested in adding Raphinha to their attacking options and are prepared to test Barcelona’s resolve with a bid. The London club had reportedly bid around £60 million for the winger during his time at Leeds, but he chose to join Barcelona instead.
Raphinha has had a difficult start to his career at Camp Nou but has become an important player for the club in recent weeks, especially in the absence of Ousmane Dembele. Despite this, the report suggests that the Brazilian would reluctantly return to the Premier League if he is not considered part of manager Xavi’s plans for next season.
The winger’s potential arrival at Stamford Bridge would provide manager Graham Potter with a boost to his attacking options. Chelsea have struggled for consistency in front of goal this season and adding Raphinha to their ranks could help address the issue.
