Chelsea, close to signing Raphinha

According to ‘The Athletic’, Leeds could accept the ‘blue’ proposal of 55 million pounds

The London team wants to transfer Lukaku and make a revolution in attack

Barça not only competes with Chelsea for Dembélé. The English club is also attentive to the situation of Raphinha, the great objective of the Barça team, if they do not achieve the renewal of the Frenchman. According to ‘The Telegraph’, Chelsea joins Barça and Arsenal among the clubs pursuing the signing of the Leeds winger. ‘The Athletic’ goes even further and speaks of an almost closed deal for 55 million pounds.

The English team has already rejected an Arsenal proposal of more than 50 million pounds but Chelsea has raised the proposal to more than 55 million pounds. Chelsea is very attentive to the forward market because it intends to transfer Lukaku.

The Belgian striker could return to Inter this summer after a bad experience on his return to Chelsea, a club to which he came as the star signing just a few months ago and where he has had many problems adapting. Lukaku has not been comfortable in Tuchel’s system and a way out is being sought for him: in England they are talking about a transfer of around 100 million to Inter. Chelsea have Sterling (City), Dembélé (Barça), Raphinha (Leeds) and Richarlison (Everton) in their portfolio.
