Previously, Leeds United right winger Rafinha was thought to be transferring to Chelsea. However, this transfer is still not complete at this stage. According to Romano's news, Rafinha's agent Deco is still communicating with Barca, because the player wants to transfer to Barca, so Deco is still trying to fight for the player and try to let the player transfer to Barca. But if Barca can't match the transfer fee close to Chelsea, Rafinha will move to the Blues Chelsea.
According to media sources, Rafinha wants to go to Barca, but Barca did not match leeds United's asking price, leeds united will not let Rafinha go, let her join Barca as desired. If the player refuses to transfer to Chelsea, Rafinha will only remain at Leeds United.
As a player with a Children's Dream, Rafinha's first choice is of course to join Barca, the player has clearly expressed such an idea, and the agent Deco is also trying to communicate with Barca, hoping that Barca can make some efforts for the player to join, but the reality is that Rafinha wants to transfer to Barca is not small.
Barca's current focus on reinforcements is Levan in the center forward position, but Bayern still does not let up and continues to raise barca's price of wanting to bring in Levan, which also makes Barca very uncomfortable. And De Jong's loyalty award will also keep Barca at a disadvantage in terms of selling De Jong, and Barca's introduction of Levan really has no cost to bring in Rafinha.
Leeds United is willing to accept Rafinha's own choice, after all, under the premise that Chelsea and Leeds United have agreed, Rafinha still wants to follow his dream of being a child, but this dream of the player is likely to be shattered. Phillips' move to Manchester City is close to being finalized, which also makes Leeds United's squad for the new season likely to change.
For Rafinha, it may be forced to accept the reality that if he does not move to Chelsea, he will have to stay at Leeds United. The chances of Barca bringing in players are slim to none, and while Leeds United respects players' choices for the future, leeds United will still sell players to Chelsea if Barca still can't match the corresponding transfer fees, which is the most direct way for Leeds United to earn money.
For Rafinha herself, going to Barca now is obviously a bit too ideal, after all, the reality does not allow this to happen, and for Chelsea, it may only be a matter of time before the players are won, after all, Barca is heavily indebted, even if they sell Frankie de Jong, they cannot bid the same fee as Chelsea to take Rafinha.
