Will both of Raheem Sterling and Raphinha be joining Chelsea this summer or will it only be one?
Currently, the answer to this question is unknown but the situation with the former of the pair certainly looks a lot more promising than with Leeds' number 10. A certain Journalist has already gone on the record to announce this transfer as a 'done deal.' Although a little pre-mature, football.london understands that this deal could be announced imminently and that the only hold-up in making this transfer official is the fact that new owner Todd Boehly is trying to broker a double swoop from Man City which also includes Nathan Ake.
However, the Citizens' need to replace the outgoing Dutchmen has put the brakes slightly on this specific transfer negotiation between the two Premier League clubs. But in terms of the 27-year-old, it already feels 99% done. Meanwhile, having already verbally agreed with Leeds for a fee north of £55m, it's now a waiting game for Chelsea who needs the green light from Raphinha and his agent Deco before personal terms are discussed. Currently, the former midfielder is trying all he can to deliver his client his dream move to Camp Nou. He's shown this willingness by being ever-present in Laporta's office on both Wednesday and Thursday as Barca reportedly prepare to offer a huge counter-offer to the Blues which is more add-on heavy.
