Leeds United winger Raphinha could still reject Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea amid interest from Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Barcelona, according to 90min.
Arsenal have made a bid for Leeds winger Raphinha and have been in talks over a move for the Brazil international, according to the report.
The report has added that Chelsea have agreed a deal with Leeds and are in pole position for the £63,000-a-week star.
Barcelona are also keen on Raphinha, according to 90min, who have added that the former Rennes star is now considering his options, including ‘rejecting a move to Chelsea’.
The winger’s reportedly preferred move would be a switch to Barcelona.
Could Arsenal sign Chelsea target Raphinha?
In our opinion, Arsenal could struggle to sign Chelsea and Barcelona target Raphinha from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
Now, if Arsenal are not willing to pay the £60 million transfer fee that Leeds want for the winger – described as “incredible” by former Elland Road player Stephen Warnock on the Football Show on Sky Sports in May 2022 – then there is no way that the West Yorkshire club will sell him to the North London club.
Chelsea regularly win major trophies, and if Barcelona are unable to strike a deal with Leeds, then it is likely that Raphinha would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge to joining the Gunners.
