Arsenal and Chelsea both held an interest in signing Brazil star Raphinha last summer before he completed a £55million transfer to Barcelona
Barcelona winger Raphinha has slammed reports linking him with a transfer to Arsenal and Chelsea just 12 months after completing a move to the Nou Camp. Despite a slow start, the former Leeds star has scored ten goals and provided a further 11 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions for Xavi Hernandez's side this term.
Raphinha has since hit out at reports linking him with a return to the Premier League as he aims to stay with Barcelona for the 2023/24 campaign. Replying to a post on Instagram relaying the rumours, Raphinha wrote: “Lie.
“The person who said this is a liar and uninformed," he added. According to Spanish news outlet SPORT, via Sport Witness, Chelsea are preparing talks over signing Raphinha, and his agent seems to be doing his bit to facilitate the transfer. The Catalan club need to improve their finances and selling the Brazilian winger could help them abide to Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
His agent, Deco, also wants to convince him to listen to offers from the Premier League, where Chelsea are keen to sign him. SPORT also claimed that the Gunners had reignited their interest in Raphinha as Mikel Arteta looks to add a versatile forward to his squad ahead of their return to the Champions League next season.

U mean getting eliminated form Europa League by Benfica, bottling PL and going trophyless is doing well? Ok. Good luck with that then
Arsenal never projected to win the EPL this season. Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and Man U did! Arsenal's projection was top four finish and they've since achieved that by a million miles. One thing at a time.

Arsenal don't need Raphinya, maybe Chelsea do. Without Raphinya, Arsenal are doing very well and there are several superstars out there who are desperate to join Arsenal. Arsenal aren't the type who chase players that don't love the club, no matter how good they may be.
