Chelsea submitted a significant bid of 60 million euros plus an additional 25 million in variables for Raphinha, which FC Barcelona turned down. Barcelona indicated that they would only entertain a sale if the offer reached 100 million euros. Chelsea views Raphinha as a perfect fit for their offensive lineup under the management of Todd Boehly. Nonetheless, Barcelona remains steadfast in their financial requirements, underscoring both the player's importance and the club's financial necessities.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is said to have identified Barcelona attacker Raphinha as his primary target, with aspirations of him forming a formidable partnership with Cole Palmer. Reports suggest that although Barcelona are not keen on entering negotiations, insiders indicated that the club might be reluctantly willing to part with the winger, as his sale could provide much-needed funds to bolster their financial standing. Should Chelsea present a sufficiently high offer, it is expected that Barcelona will find it challenging to refuse.

Chelsea have been impressed by the performances of Raphinha, but Barcelona are no longer willing to sell the winger.

Barcelona winger Raphinha is keen to return to the Premier League. Chelsea have been offered his services.

Barcelona have turned down a €60 million offer for winger Raphinha from a Premier League club, with Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester United all interested in the Brazil international. Raphinha was left on the bench on Sunday as Barca rounded off their LaLiga season with a 2-1 win over Sevilla in what was Xavi’s final match in charge of the club. He played 37 times this season, scoring 10 goals and creating 13 more. The 27-year-old was notably used in Barca’s clutch matches, scoring three times in two games against PSG in the Champions League and producing an assist in the most recent Clasico. Barcelona’s financial position, though, means that he could potentially be sold in the summer. TodoFichajes reports that the Blaugrana have fielded a €60m bid from the Premier League for Raphinha, yet it has been turned down because it does not match the club’s asking price of €80m. Retaining the player is said to be a “priority” for incoming manager Hansi Flick. Although the identity of the club to be knocked back is unclear, Aston Villa and Chelsea are the two teams said to be “fishing” for Raphinha, with Manchester United “drifting” as they continue to “lack a clear roadmap” for the summer.

Raphinha has been linked with a move to various Premier League clubs including Chelsea. The specific interest or negotiations from Chelsea are not detailed.
