Leeds United said Chelsea should wait, that they want to hear Barcelona out first, concerning Raphinha. Is Chelsea FC even a small club? On Thursday, Barcelona bid for Raphinha at the rate of 51 million, and they would pay them like 3 times later and Chelsea bid with 55 million pounds with 5 million pounds ad on. Did Chelsea worth holding on? Despite the fact that they are ready to pay 55 million pounds cash. Although Leeds United are the owner of the player, so they can do and undo, they may choose to sell their player for any club that they want.
If Chelsea is in dare need of Raphinha, they should not back off, they should continue biding for Raphinha, try to confuse Raphinha and if Raphinha didn't want to play at Chelsea, they should let him be because if he go to Chelsea, his mind won't still be at Chelsea, exactly that is what happens to Romero Lukaku. Leeds United know that it is Barcelona that Raphinha want to go, that is why they said Chelsea should wait for them to hear Barcelona out and if Barcelona didn't meet up with what Leeds want, Leeds can make decision themselves.
If Leeds United relegate, Barcelona wouldn't have buy Raphinha more than 25 million pounds but as they didn't relegate, Leeds United can sell Raphinha at the amount that they want. But maybe because Raphinha has been useful Barcelona and that is why they want to please him, just in order to go to Barcelona that his mind is and they have agreed to collect the money from Barcelona three times that Barcelona said they would pay. Spain is where Brazilian players excels most, that is why they all want to play at Barcelona and Real Madrid.
World Cup is near, very important, and they would surely see him at Barcelona faster that Chelsea, even if he haven't play much match in Barcelona. To last in national team and to secure the wing he plays at national team because Brazil have many players that plays at the same wing with Raphinha. Although it's not that Real Madrid and Barcelona are that higher than English clubs but there is no where politics don't come up in the world. Real Madrid and Barcelona president have so much power more than some president.
