Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports provided an update on this transfer saga today, saying that Barcelona are trying to meet the valuation of the winger with an add-on heavy package, which Leeds have no intention of accepting. Meanwhile, though Raphinha has not ruled out a move to West London, owner Todd Boehly is keen to avoid this transfer dragging on.
Jacobs also claims that Chelsea have offered a five-year deal to the Brazilian and they are putting pressure on his agent Deco to accept what is deemed a suitable offer. Despite this, Raphinha is hesitant to decide until he knows if Barcelona will be able to come to an agreement with Leeds.
