Cheslea and Newcastle won't give in easily. Both sides' goal is to strengthen their attack in the summer and Barcelona need money like nobody's business, meaning Raphinha could be the one to go.
'SPORT' reported that both the Blues and the Magpies have got in touch with the Brazilian's entourage, even though they haven't gone any further yet. All this comes in his best spell at the Spanish side.
Raphinha's leap forward in form is now a reality after Ousmane Dembele got injured. However, Barcelona want to get in €150 million in the summer, and the number 22 fits all the criteria to be the man to be sacrificed, according to the source.
In fact, Chelsea already tried to get the Brazil international when he was at Leeds, although Joan Laporta got ahead in the negotiations. Newcastle are also aiming to be ringing at his door in the next few months.
Raphinha was decisive in Barcelona's tight win over Valencia. With the Frenchman still out, Xavi will be using him again against Athletic Bilbao in San Mames.
