Chelsea could be a potential destination for one Barcelona player this summer.

The Blues look set to strengthen at least their attack and defence when the transfer window opens.

They are light up front, with Nicolas Jackson being the only recognised centre-forward in Mauricio Pochettino‘s squad right now, while a centre-back may need to be signed to replace Thiago Silva.

The Brazilian is out of contract at the end of the season.

Jules Kounde has been heavily linked to Chelsea in the past, so perhaps he could be one option, and while Raphinha would not boost the team up front, previous interest in the 27-year-old could also make him a target if Pochettino wants another wide man.

Barcelona have already rejected £51m bid

In those wide areas, Chelsea currently have Cole Palmer, Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk.

However, a report from Sport has now named Chelsea as a potential landing spot for Raphinha this summer.

According to the same outlet, Barcelona have already rejected a €60m (£51m) offer for the Brazilian from an unnamed Premier League club, hoping to get at least €80m (£68m) instead.

If Chelsea bought Raphinha for that much, it would make him one of the club’s most expensive ever signings.

Raphinha in the Champions League

Raphinha was unable to prevent Barcelona from being knocked out of the Champions League last night by Paris Saint-Germain.

However, across the two legs against the French giants, the Brazil international managed to score three goals.

He did it on the biggest stage and had Ronald Araujo not been sent off, who knows? Maybe Barcelona would have gone through.

Considering the above and the fact that Raphinha has played in the Premier League before, he is not the worst attacking option out there if you are Chelsea.
