Chelsea in talks with Leeds over deal for Raphinha

Chelsea are in talks with Leeds over a deal for Raphinha, with the Blues prepared to pay in excess of £50m to get the deal done.

Chelsea's bid has at this point trumped Arsenal, who had an opening bid rejected but are expected to go back in with an improved offer. Chelsea are also in for Raheem Sterling with Manchester City expecting to field a bid for the England international after Thomas Tuchel engaged Sterling over how he would fit in at Stamford Bridge.

Barcelona are also understood to want to sign Raphinha, whose agent is the former Barca player Deco.

Raphinha has been Leeds' outstanding attacking player since joining two seasons ago, scoring 17 Premier League goals.

Who will be on the move this summer when the transfer window opens on June 10 and closes at 11pm on September 1?
