The situation involving Barcelona, Ousmane Dembele, and Raphinha remains unresolved. The Spanish side had reached an agreement with Dembele on a new contract as of yesterday.
His previous contract has expired, and he must now register as a new La Liga player. According to the rules, this will be a difficult task for the club. They are also attempting to complete Raphinha's transfer from Leeds United. However, their final offer falls short of Chelsea's.
The West London club made a guaranteed offer of £60 million, which Leeds accepted. However, Barcelona's most recent bid was a verbal offer for €60 million, and there is a difference that is not being met.
Leeds United is pressuring Barcelona to complete the transfer as soon as possible because they do not want the transfer saga to drag on. However, Barcelona is working hard to find a solution with Xavi, Joan Laporta, and sporting director Mateu Alemany.
The decision must be made quickly, and the club must also determine whether they can sign both players. They may only be able to register one of the two wingers due to wage constraints. And they will have to make a decision quickly because time is not on their side.
Raphinha has stated that if his future is not resolved soon, he intends to move to Chelsea. As a result, the Blaugrana is under pressure to make critical decisions right away.

Paulo Dybala's wage demands have reportedly been reduced to €6 million per season, dubbed the "deal of the year" for a free agent.
The Argentina international was released by Juventus at the end of last season and is now a free agent.
Many expected him to join Inter Milan, and he agreed personal terms, but the return of Romelu Lukaku on loan means a move is unlikely.
Dybala's next club is currently unknown, and sacrifices have been made. According to Sky Sports' Angelo Mangiante, the 28-year-old is willing to accept a lower salary to secure his future.
That means Dybala's weekly salary will be around €115,000. For context, that is lower than the majority of Manchester United's and Manchester City's squads.
Given what Dybala has done in the game, Mangiante went on to call it the "deal of the year" for a free agent.
The five-time Serie A champion scored in Argentina's Finalissima victory over Italy last month.
He has been plagued by injuries in recent years, and he only made 29 league appearances last season.
Interestingly, representatives for Dybala have approached United about a possible transfer.
He had the option of joining Manchester United in 2019, but chose to stay at Juventus despite being told he'd 'become a champion' in 2019.
