Barcelona make a last-gasp bid for Raphinha

Barcelona have made a late bid for Leeds United's Raphinha but their proposal still falls short of Chelsea 's accepted £60m offer.

Raphinha's agent Deco is holding out to see if Barcelona can release more funds following the £229million injection from investment firm Sixth Street for 10 per cent of the club's TV rights for the next 25 years.
