Chelsea have agreed a £60m with Leeds for the signing of Brazilian forward, Raphinha.
The 25-year-old Brazilian has been in quite the demand this transfer window with Barcelona and Arsenal among others who have shown interest in him.
With the Spanish and the North London club struggling to meet the asking price put forward by Leeds United, Chelsea seem like the most suitable destination for Raphinha.
Football transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano stated that Chelsea have tabled a £60m deal for the Brazilian.
“Chelsea proposal, on the table since yesterday night. Boehly wanted contract bid to be sent right after £60m agreement with Leeds. Contract offered until June 2027, he said via a tweet on Wednesday.

The winger scored 11 goals for Leeds in the 2021/22 season across 35 appearances in the Premier League, playing a total of 2,922 minutes.
Among other red hot transfer entities is Feyenoord left-back, Tyrell Malacia. According to Goal, Manchester United are looking to sign the 22-year-old in a late transfer scoop.
Malacia shares the same agent as Barcelona midfielder, Frenkie De Jong, who the 20-time Premier League champions have also been interested in. United have known to make Malacia and De Jong their priorities for this transfer window.
The Red Devils are looking to turn things around under new manager Erik ten Hag after a shambolic 2021/22 season where they finished sixth and weren’t able to qualify for Champions League football for next season.
