Chelsea have highlighted Burnley forward Maxwel Cornet as a potential alternative to Raphinha, with the Leeds player's preferred destination being Barcelona. Cornet is one of a few alternative options the West London club have identified, with a move for Raphinha looking less likely each day.
The Brazilian is pushing for a move to Camp Nou; however, La Blaugrana's financial struggles has them clawing for funds to meet Leeds' lofty price tag for their star man. Chelsea already have a fee agreed with the Whites for Raphinha, but talks on personal terms have supposedly been put on hold, with the Leeds man holding out for his dream move.
As the battle for the 25-year-old’s signature rumbles on, new Chelsea owner Todd Boelhy is tracking other options in the event that Leeds midfielder moves elsewhere.
