Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Raphinha\u2019s agent, Deco, has met with senior officials in Barcelona on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

This comes less than 24 hours after Chelsea agreed a \u00a355 million fee with Leeds United for the player.<\/p>\n

Chelsea themselves are hoping to hijack the deal from Arsenal, who held extensive talks with the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n

Barcelona, however, has a long-standing interest in Raphinha but has been unable to meet Leeds\u2019 valuation due to their financial situation.<\/p>\n

It is understood that Raphinha agreed on personal terms with the LaLiga giants in March and actually prefers joining Barca.<\/p>\n

The UK Metro reports Deco may be making one last push with Barcelona\u2019s hierarchy.<\/p>\n

He was spotted leaving their offices alongside the club\u2019s director of football Mateu Alemany and Enric Masip, advisor to Barca president Joan Laporta.<\/p>\n
