He has no other option unless he stays at Leeds. Arsenal can't afford him and Barcelona are in the shitter. 

Tie him to a long term deal too so Barcelona aren't sniffing around later. 

Assuming the expectation is to still close a deal on Sterling, buying Raphinha would surely shut down any possibility of Dembele. 

It looks now like Dembele has no other option but Barca but that would be fine if it means that it would also end any interest they have now or in the longer term for Raphinha.

We'll see. At this point simply securing a signing will be a surprise.

 

 

Chelsea and Leeds have reached full agreement for Raphinha! Official bid accepted around £60/65m [add ons included]. Main part of amount to be paid immediately. It’s done between clubs. 🚨🔵 #CFC

Talks now ongoing on player side on personal terms and contract. Boehly, on it. pic.twitter.com/gNbc4HbrTa

We better start finding homes for attackers.

well, so ziyech and werner will go

Raphina and Sterling is good business. Would still love to see a midfielder be signed but good start if those two signings do occur.

If we are pulling the trigger on both Sterling and Raphinha, that tells me that we are confident of off loading 2 of our attackers (Puli/Ziyech/Werner). Which also could be a sign that we are confident of getting De Ligt (hopefully) as 2 of those names are linked with that deal. We will see.

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

Just need a hard working midfield to complement the attacking/creative prowess of James, Chilwell, Sterling, Raphinha, and Havertz.

Chelsea are sending the Raheem Sterling bid in the next hours, it will be £35-40m with add ons. ( @LucaBendoni - Team @DiMarzio ) #CFC 🔵

Not over the moon, we are obviously overpaying  plus he will turn 26 in December already. But he is definitely a baller. Pacey, skilful, hard working is exactly what we need. Just need him to up his goal rate. Otherwise could be another Willian signing. Looking neat and tidy on the ball, speed dribbler with the occasional wonder goal but no consistent threat. But he is left footed unlike Willy which already gives him a bit of an edge

Difficult to judge as was only one season but 11 goals in 35 last season for a team that was bereft of genuine quality around him for almost the entirety of the season was a better return than Willian managed in 7 years here in the league.

There were a few pens among those, I think 4?

I am not talking about this season tho. His overall career output is very similar to Willian’s at this point also having played in minor leagues mostly 

the quality of raphinhas goals from open play has been excellent in most cases tho. The same was true for Willian however

So it could be a bad sign I.e. a scorer of great goals is not a great goal scorer 

or it could also mean that provided with more possession and service he might score even more

I guess we will see

very pleased something is finally getting done
