Chelsea have set their sights on Raphinha, the Brazilian winger who is reportedly on FC Barcelona’s drop list due to his well-documented financial problems. The Premier League is on alert as Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle have expressed keen interest in securing the talented player’s services, according to Todofichajes.
With an estimated value of €50 million, Raphinha represents an attractive option for English clubs, especially after Barcelona paid Leeds €64.2 million for his 2022 signing. Chelsea in particular have shown a long-term interest in the Brazilian winger, having been one of the clubs competing for his signing in the past.

Despite being considered an important player at Barça, Raphinha’s future at the Catalan club remains uncertain ahead of the summer transfer window. With the emergence of Lamine Yamal, the Brazilian winger could become a viable option for Barcelona to generate significant revenue.
Chelsea’s potential signing of Raphinha complements the English club’s strategy to strengthen its squad while taking advantage of Barcelona’s financial situation. Competition between interested clubs is likely to be intense and Raphinha’s fate will certainly be one of the highlights of the upcoming transfer window.
