Raphinha will play for Chelsea next season, according to one insider claim today.
It’s all been going rather crazy out there over the last couple of days, with Chelsea agreeing a fee with Leeds United to sign winger Raphinha, but then the player’s agent spending the last couple of days since then in the offices of Barcelona speaking to them about putting an offer in for the player.

This one has always been a mad one. Arsenal also agreed a fee for him a while ago, but it seems he didn’t want to go to Arsenal and was waiting on other offers. Chelsea put theirs in and it was expected to be a done deal. But it looks like now he is stalling on that offer as well and waiting on Barcelona.
However, Barcelona insider Shay Lugassi of The Barca Times, says that Chelsea sources have told him that they still expect Raphinha to be a Chelsea player next season.
Sources at Chelsea say that despite Deco's meeting with Barcelona, they believe Raphinha will play at Stamford Bridge next season because they do not see much chance that barca will equal her offer with Leeds. The player wants FCB, but the differences are big. #FCBlive #CHE 🇧🇷 pic.twitter.com/lMrp9XYbG9
