Raphinha to Chelsea transfer: Todd Boehly plan, Barcelona bid accepted, £57m offer, final stages

Chelsea were expected to be one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League this summer, but with over a month of the window now elapsed, still, no new faces have arrived. And, the Blues' sorrow is set to continue with Barcelona stifling Thomas Tuchel's primary target.
