Raphinha's agent Deco travelled to Barcelona on Wednesday amid reports that the Catalans are looking to 'hijack' Chelsea's bid for the Leeds United winger.
Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo reported that Deco met with officials from the Camp Nou in a last-gasp effort to see if Barcelona are able to match Chelsea's offer, amid further claims that the Spaniards are looking to rush through a cash injection that will allow them to be competitive in the summer transfer market.
The Raphinha transfer saga took another major turn yesterday when Chelsea reportedly reached an agreement for the Brazilian international after tabling a £60million bid. Barcelona have been chasing Raphinha for months as a replacement for French international Ousmane Dembele, who is set to become a free agent on July 1.
