tl.New Wing! 26 G/A Chelsea are reportedly still interested in a Barcelona attacker as they prepare a new offensive strategy ‎

Reports surfaced this week from TeamTalk claiming that Barcelona is prepared to cash in on winger Raphinha this summer.

Although Crysencio Summerville and Michael Olise will be Chelsea’s top priorities, Simon Phillips’ excusive report today suggests that Chelsea will also be interested. Chelsea is eager to offload any of their current wingers to make space for the two, or maybe Raphinha, as they are both long-term targets.

The price tag might be a problem; according to our Spanish sources, the Brazilian is asking for an absurd €100 million. However, considering Barcelona’s current circumstances, we would be surprised if a bid of about €70 million failed to seal the deal.

Even if Summerville and Olise are higher on the priority list, Chelsea still doesn’t have a guarantee that they will sign with the club because of all the red tape. If those two deals fall through, Raphinha might return to the conversation, especially because Barcelona is in a selling mood and would be eager to negotiate with anyone. As a result, Chelsea may be able to negotiate a lower fee.
