Raphinha was persuaded by Barcelona to delay Chelsea transfer decision
Leeds United
The Brazilian will wait before making a decision, but no one knows how long Raphinha's move to Barcelona will be complicated. There are numerous factors working against the Blaugrana. Chelsea's arrival is one of them.
The London club is going all out to sign the Brazilian and has made a lucrative offer to Leeds. They are willing to pay a total of 60 million euros.
Meeting with the agent of the player
In light of this, Deco, the player's agent, met with Barcelona directors on Wednesday and Thursday to explain the situation.
The player has had an agreement with Barcelona for some time, but no further steps have been taken to sign the player, has not yet been triggered.
Waiting period
Despite pressure from other clubs, the Catalan giants have the player's word that he will stick to his decision.
Raphinha wants to play for Barcelona, and this is their main guarantee.
As a result, the player has agreed to wait a little longer to see if Barcelona can raise the funds.
Barcelona is running out of time.
The question is how long the player will be willing to wait. It's one thing for him to want to play at Camp Nou, but it's quite another for him to pass up any chance of playing for a bigger club than Leeds.
Because, as of now, no one can guarantee that the Catalan club will be able to sign the player.
Especially since Lewandowski is first on the list and any new funds will be used to bring him in.
At the very least, Barcelona has won this battle. They have persuaded Raphinha and Deco not to accept Chelsea's offer right away, giving them some wiggle room.
Everything will be dependent on the board of directors' ability to find new financial resources.
