Chelsea and Leeds have reached full agreement for Raphinha! The official bid was approved
The majority of the money must be paid right away. It takes place between clubs.
Personal terms and contract negotiations are currently underway on the player side. On it, Boehly.
Chelsea and Leeds have reached a full 'agreement' for Raphinha's transfer, and the fee has been revealed.
The Blues appear to have acted quickly in reaching an agreement with Leeds, outbidding their rivals on a transfer fee.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have reached an agreement with Leeds United to sign Raphinha this summer.
The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from Yorkshire, with a number of clubs showing interest.
However, it appears that the Blues are the first team to make a breakthrough in talks with Leeds, with Arsenal being the only other side to have tabled a bid thus far. The Gunners, on the other hand, have been rejected on each occasion, falling short of the valuation.
It's no surprise that the 25-year-old has piqued the interest of top clubs after impressing since moving to England from Stade Rennais in 2020. Last season, he scored 11 goals and provided three assists in the Premier League to help his team retain their top-flight status.
That form has led to him becoming a regular for Brazil, where he has made nine appearances for the national team since making his debut in October of last year. Tite publicly thanked his former manager, Marcelo Bielsa, for his efforts, saying, "I publicly thank Bielsa for accompanying and working with Raphinha and all the coaching staff that brought him closer to the national team."
And his rise appears to be unstoppable, with a move to a high-profile club on the cards this summer. Chelsea are currently in first place, thanks to Romano's report that a deal with Leeds has been reached.
According to the reporter, a move worth £60-£65 million has been agreed upon, with add-ons. The next step is for the player and his representatives, which include former midfielder Deco, to meet.
There are still many twists and turns in this story, but it appears Chelsea have taken a huge step towards bolstering their attacking options.
