Chelsea are reportedly considering an alternative cut-price option to Raphinha as the saga surrounding the Leeds winger continues to rumble on.
As the only club to have had an offer accepted for the Brazilian, the Blues are still leading the charge. But Raphinha is continuing to hold out hope of his preferred option Barcelona matching the £60 million fee before next season.
Given the financial state of things at the La Liga giants, this remains unlikely although work is ongoing. Arsenal too have been strongly linked with Raphinha but are yet to have an offer accepted by the Yorkshire side.
