Over the past two days, there have been some new reports that Barcelona is not alone in the race to sign Leeds United star Riphinha, Chelsea and Arsenal are also very much interested in signing the Brazilian winger. With this new development, I don't think Barcelona will be able to sign the Brazilian due to their financial issues and it looks like Chelsea are the highest bidder in the race to sign Riphinha.
Although the Brazilian International has started his interest to play for Barcelona, there is a likely possibility the transfer to Barca may not happen this summer. Leeds United wants 70 million euros for Riphinha, that is way too much for the player, and I don't think Barcelona will pay that amount for the Brazilian.
The reason why Barca is considering singing Riphinha is only if Dembele leaves the club this summer. There are new report that the Frenchman still wants an increase in the recent offer made by the club this week, if Barcelona somehow successfully sign Riphinha they won't bother about renewing Dembele's contract.
In other news, Barcelona and Tottenham are close to an agreement on a loan deal for Clement Lenglet, it seems the French defender won't be playing in Barcelona this coming season. I think this is good for Lenglet, he hasn't had much playing time at the club for a while, on top of that Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia seem to be on top form than the Frenchman.
There have been some rumours about Neymar's return to Barcelona this summer, it's no news that PSG is willing to sell the Brazilian if they get a better offer. Barcelona fans are always getting Neymar back to Barcelona news every summer transfer window, I don't think the board should consider signing Neymar back, it's high time this Neymar to Barca rumour dies down.
Lewandoski to Barcelona has been one of the top transfer news this summer, recently Barcelona has submitted a proposal of 50 million euros for the striker but Bayern Munich has rejected the offer, Bayern wants 75 million euros for Lewandoski. Robert Lewandoski has already made it clear that he doesn't want to continue at Bayern and is interested in signing for Barcelona.
Barcelona's President has a good relationship with the striker and assures him the club will do everything in their power to sign him this summer. I wonder how Barca will pull this transfer off, it will be nice to have a goalscoring machine at the club 馃槄.
So guys that will be all for today, see you all soon with more updates, cheers.
