Chelsea renews interest in Rafinha Diaz

Chelsea renewed its interest in obtaining the Barcelona star, to strengthen the team’s ranks during the next summer Mercato.

The Spanish newspaper “Sport” said that the Chelsea administration is interested in including Barcelona star Rafinha, less than a year after the Brazilian rejected the Blues offer, preferring to move to Barca.

Rafinha moved to Barcelona from Leeds for 56 million pounds, but he scored only 9 goals in 40 games with Barca.

Although Chelsea’s offer was greater than Barca’s, Rafinha preferred to move to Barcelona to repeat the career of his compatriot Ronaldinho in La Liga.

Getting rid of players remains a priority for Barcelona next summer to reduce the wage budget, as Barcelona wants to save 178 million pounds.

The newspaper pointed out: “Ravinia feels happy and adapts to Barcelona, ​​and he has the support of his coach Xavi, which makes the task difficult for Chelsea to include him.”
