Raphinha was the talk of the summer transfer window for a long period of time.
The Leeds United forward was tipped with a move away from Elland Road the moment the 2021/22 Premier League season ended and he had no shortage of suitors. London clubs Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham were all credited with an interest, with the Gunners and the Blues heading the race for his signature at various moments.
Raphinha always had his heart set on a move to Barcelona, although a deal looked complicated, with the Catalan giants struggling financially. That left the door open for the London duo to make their moves, with Chelsea seeing a £55million bid for the Brazilian accepted by Leeds.
