Check Out Who Chelsea Is Returning For Next Summer

A return of the Transfer clasico? Reports allege Chelsea may be in for another transfer drama concerning Raphinha once more as it is rumored the Blues may be open to bringing the former Leeds United star to the ranks of Graham Potter’s side.

English Premier League club Chelsea FC is reportedly considering signing Barcelona star Raphinha after the Catalan giants admitted that they will have to sell players this summer.

The Brazilian winger was previously on Chelsea’s radar when he was playing for Leeds United, with the Blues even making a bid of £60 million for him. However, Raphinha opted to join Barcelona last summer, while Chelsea pursued Raheem Sterling instead.

After a difficult start at Camp Nou, Raphinha has become a key player for Barcelona in recent weeks, especially in the absence of Ousmane Dembele. However, Barcelona president Joan Laporta recently announced that the club will need to sell players to sign new ones this summer.

According to reports from Sport, Chelsea have now been alerted to Raphinha’s situation and are considering making an offer to test Barcelona’s resolve. The Blues are seeking to bolster their attacking options, and Raphinha would be a perfect fit for manager Graham Potter’s system.

While Raphinha is said to be happy in Spain, he will reluctantly return to the Premier League if he is not part of new Barcelona manager Xavi’s plans for next season. Chelsea will be keeping a close eye on the situation and could potentially make a move for Raphinha at the end of the season.
