Barcelona have reportedly seen a fresh offer for Leeds United winger Raphinha turned down. That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims that the Spanish side put forward a new proposal last night, that did not meet Leeds’ asking price.
Chelsea have already agreed a deal in the region of £60 million with Leeds for the Brazilian, however Raphinha’s first choice destination has always remained Barcelona. His agent Deco has been pictured in the offices at the Camp Nou in each of the last two days, as he looks to push his client towards a move to the Spanish side.
Barcelona’s financial issues has proved to be a major stumbling block so far this summer, in a deal which looked extremely likely following the conclusion of the Premier League season. However, Barca have today announced major investment from American company Sixth Sense, which will see them secure a cash injection of €267 million for the current season.
