Barcelona's Raphinha has once again found himself in Chelsea's sights, less than a year after the player snubbed the west London club's offer in favour of joining Xavi's side, according to reports.
The winger moved to Catalonia for a fee of £56million over the summer after he attracted persistent interest from Premier League outfit, but is believed to have failed to deliver on his high price tag after scoring only nine times in 40 appearances for the Blaugrana.
Chelsea had been tracking the then-Leeds player since January 2022, but their offer – side to be higher than Barcelona's – was rejected as Raphina sought to emulate his childhood hero Ronaldinho in LaLiga.
