The winger moved to Catalonia for a fee of £56million over the summer after he attracted persistent interest from Premier 🌟 League outfit, but is believed to have failed to deliver on his high price tag after scoring only nine times 🌟 in 40 appearances for the Blaugrana.
Chelsea had been tracking the then-Leeds player since January 2024, but their offer – side 🌟 to be higher than Barcelona's – was rejected as Raphina sought to emulate his childhood hero Ronaldinho in LaLiga.
Offloading players 🌟 will be a priority for the Catalan club during this summer's transfer window as they attempt to slash their wage 🌟 bill.
Barcelona must raise £178m before they can sign new players, but as per Diario Sport, Raphinha is happy and settled 🌟 in the side, content with the backing of his manager as he looks to find consistency in his game.
Raphinha has 🌟 attracted the interest of Chelsea after spurning their advances last year
