Following the reports of a transfer deal between Chelsea FC and Leeds United for Brazilian Raphinha, Sports reporter Fabrizio Romano has reported that the deal might however take a drastic turn and suffer a huge setback as Spanish giants Barcelona had reportedly offered a new deal to Leeds United for the star player.

Leeds United however reportedly rejected the new deal offered by Barcelona in a bid to respect initial agreements made with Chelsea FC.

It had been reported that Barcelona had reportedly agreed on personal terms with Raphinha a few months before attempting to submit a bid officially for the player to Leeds United.

From all indications the final agreement would be dependent on the player himself and if Chelsea can reach a final agreement with Raphinha.
