verge of signing for Chelsea football club.
The 25 years old has been in astonishing form for Leeds United football club since joining them in the summer transfer window of the 2020/2021 season, and he scored 11 League goals for the club last season.
Raphinha
was linked with a move to Barcelona football club, Arsenal FC, Tottenham
Hotspur football club and Manchester United FC earlier this month, before
Chelsea FC joined the race, and they are set to sign the highly rated Brazilian
star.
Report also said, the Arsenal football club had a meeting with the Leeds United football club and made a new verbal bid in the last few hours, but it was turned down by Leeds United FC. Barcelona also called Leeds United FC again but no chance to match Chelsea bid. The Blues are now working to get the agreement done also on personal terms.
