Deco, Raphinha's agent, has been spotted in Barcelona as he works to get his client a transfer to Camp Nou.
Chelsea has emerged as the favorite to capture the Brazilian winger after outpacing Barcelona and Arsenal with a £65 million offer that includes add-ons.
90min is aware that Barcelona is Raphinha's favourite location even though he is open-minded about all of his alternatives. However, the Blaugrana have notified Leeds that due to their financial limitations, they will be unable to compete with the money that is now on the table.
However, it appears that the Brazilian international still has prospects of relocating to Catalonia. Journalist Gerard Romero posted pictures of the player's agent, an ex-Barça and Chelsea player.
90min previously reported that Deco was willing to wait for Barcelona to gather the funds for a suitable bid, and it seems he is now attempting to encourage them into action following Chelsea's big-money offer.
However, Raphinha and Deco may well be left disappointed as it is unlikely the Catalan giants will be able to stump up the cash in their precarious financial situation.
