Deco, the agent for Raphinha, "meets" Barcelona executives as the Spanish giants attempt to sabotage Chelsea's recruitment effort.
Less than a day after Chelsea seemed to take the lead in pursuing the Leeds winger, RAPHINHA'S agent was photographed at the Nou Camp.
By submitting a proposal for the Brazilian that was above £55 million on Tuesday, the west Londoners struck a crushing blow to Arsenal's ambitions of acquiring his services.
On Wednesday, Deco, Raphinha's agent, was sighted at the Nou Camp.
After Chelsea got closer to signing the winger, Deco was spotted at his old club.
Deal negotiations are scheduled for later this week with the player's agent, former Barcelona and Chelsea star Deco.
But when Deco was sighted at the Nou Camp with club executives Rafa Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Enric Masip, and president Joan Laporta, Barca might be ready to sign the winger.
Video of the group exiting the stadium was recorded by Spanish journalist Victor Navvaro and posted on Twitter.
Rafael Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Deco, and Enric Masip left the Camp Nou offices, he wrote on Twitter.
When they shout at Mateu, "Bring Lewandowski, please," he grinned. Today's birthday girl Joan Laporta just left.
Raphinha, 24, contributed with 11 goals in 35 games to help Leeds avoid the Premier League relegation zone last season.
He also provided the critical first goal in the Whites' 2-1 victory over Brentford on the season's last day, which guaranteed the team's survival in the Premier League.
Before the season ended, there was a lot of talk about Raphinha's future, but Leeds manager Jesse Marsch is convinced that it didn't hinder the Brazilian international's play.
The American responded last month, when asked if Raphinha's head had perhaps been turned, "Not at all.
"He has put everything into it. His emotion, which has been discussed, can be seen as a lack of self-control." I consider it a complete investment. I haven't given that part much thought.
