Chelsea are pushing through with Rapinha to try and complete the transfer as Todd Boehly ramps up the summer market activity.
Todd Boehly had his £55M-£65M bid (with add ons included) accepted by Leeds United and all that is left is for Rapinha to sign on. It’s reported that they have broadly agreed on personal terms (£115K per week), but Deco was in Barcelona today to see if they could match the Chelsea bid. Fans on social media are unsure if Raphinha is fully commited to Chelsea after the news came out today from Nathan Gissing that he is waiting for Barca.
It’s said that he was checking in to see what the Spanish club can do, but all signs lead to their economic situation and wage structure making them lose out unless they can their reported “cash injections” in.
As per Fabrizio Romano, Deco has scheduled a meeting with Chelsea tomorrow, the exact reasons are unknown but it is hoped that Chelsea can close the transfer.
