Raphinha will now be a Chelsea player for £55 million, shocking Arsenal in the fight to recruit the Brazilian winger.
Having finalized a deal to bring his countryman Gabriel Jesus to the Emirates last week, the Gunners had hoped to add the 26-year-old star to their attack ahead of the 2022–23 season.
However, according to The Telegraph, Chelsea has moved rapidly to beat their London rivals to a major acquisition.
The Blues and Leeds have come to an agreement about the cost, and now personal terms are anticipated.
Once it became clear that Barcelona wouldn't be able to afford a move to the Camp Nou, Raphinha was thought to favor a move to Stamford Bridge.
