Maresca asks Chelsea board to land absolute World class act

New CHELSEA boss Enzo Maresca has reportedly told the club that he would like Raphinha signed from Barcelona

During his time with Barcelona – Raphinha established himself as one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier League and a man that was destined to play at the very highest level of the game.

The Brazil international bid farewell to the Premier League when completing a big-money transfer from Leeds to Camp Nou in the summer of 2022, and had hoped to take that next step in his development.

He has shown glimpses of what he is capable of while in Catalunya, with 18 goals recorded through 80 appearances, but has not been the hit that many would have hoped, which has led to alot of speculation in the media.

Several European clubs have been closely monitoring the 27-year-old’s performances and after his recent success, a Premier League club submitted a €60 million bid for the player, according to recent reports from Diario Sport. 

However, Barcelona have made it clear that they will not entertain offers below €80 million for one of their prized assets

But now reports in Spain have claimed that Enzo Maresca has personally asked the board to sign Raphinha from Barcelona as the Brazilian star fits the style of play that he would like to employ at Stamford Bridge.
