Raphinha 'off to Barcelona' as they close to agreement with Leeds

Raphinha is pushing to join Barcelona in the coming days after the La Liga side submitted an improved offer for the player in recent days, reports Fabrizio Romano.

The reporter insists that Leeds have not yet given the green light - but Catalan journalist Gerard Romero claims that the clubs have agreed a deal worth €50m fixed plus €10m in add-ons.

Moreover, The Daily Mail's Mike Keegan claims that Raphinha is already 'off to Barcelona'.

Moreover, the 25-year-old could travel to Barcelona already on Monday, as per Diario Sport's Joaqukm Piera.

Chelsea have been the first to reach an agreement with Leeds, but Raphinha has been pushing to sign with Barcelona despite their well-known financial issues.

Piera has added that Raphinha has agreed to lower his salary considerably at Barcelona - meaning he'd earn there much less than he would've at Chelsea.
