Boehly has placed £120,000-a-week five-year deal on table – Chelsea confident of £65M signing

Fans have been told that the Chelsea board are very confident that they will complete the signing of Raphinha

The Brazil international joined Leeds from Ligue 1 side Rennes on a four-year deal in October 2020, contributing six goals and eight assists in 29 Premier League games in his debut campaign, while last season the player managed 11 goals and three assists in his 35 league matches

Raphinha has two years left on his contract and is not expected to sign a new deal at Elland Road – as he seeks to make that step up in the game and play for a side that is not fighting relegation every season

Barcelona and Chelsea are the two clubs that are leading the race to sign the Brazilian – but if you believe what CBS Reporter Ben Jacobs has claimed – it will be Chelsea that complete the signing of Raphinha

Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT: “My feeling, and from talking to sources, is that Chelsea are fully confident of agreeing the financial terms with Raphinha, that five-year contract is a year longer than Barcelona’s.

“They’ll be able to pay more lucrative wages, and Raphinha is well aware of Chelsea, [Edouard] Mendy is an ex-teammate of his, and he gets Champions League football, but what Raphinha is trying to understand is that if Barcelona is a viable option or whether their finances will stop them from being able to follow through.”

He added: “I think the next 48 hours are key because Chelsea are now in direct talks to try and agree personal terms and they’ve put a five-year deal on the table at around £120,000-a-week.

“There are two tactics here because Chelsea have got an agreement with Leeds United but not Raphinha, whereas Barcelona have got personal terms with Raphinha that date all the way back to mid-March but they’ve not agreed a fee with Leeds United and they cannot get the cash injection to match Chelsea’s offer to Leeds United.”
