Raphinha’s desire to move to Barcelona is undeniable. The winger, despite having a £60million bid accepted for him by Chelsea and a potential pay-rise up to £120,00-per-week, is delaying personal talks with the Blues and waiting for the Blaugrana’s approach.
But that approach is becoming increasingly problematic, with the Catalan giants either unable or unwilling to meet Chelsea’s bid. Reports of a €60million bid on Friday were as close as they’ve come, but that deal is thought to be in instalments whereas the Whites want the money upfront.
Such is Raphinha’s desire to move to the Camp Nou, according to ESPN (via Transferchanger ), that he is willing to remain at the club for six months or a year while he and Leeds wait for Barcelona to sort out their finances.
