Chelsea and Liverpool dealt Raphinha transfer blow

Raphinha has reportedly rejected moves to Chelsea and Liverpool

Liverpool earlier had an offer to sign the Leeds United forward rejected by the player.

Now, according to Spanish outlet Sports Raphinha has also made a request to his agent to stop a move to Chelsea being completed.

Liverpool have previously been heavily linked with a move for Raphinha, who has Brazil legend Deco as his agent.

The report states that Raphinha has told Deco that he does not want a £60m move to Chelsea to go ahead, and instead wants to join Barcelona.

It has also been claimed that Liverpool made a move to sign Raphinha, only for the player to reject the offer in favour of signing for Barcelona.
