Barcelona are hoping to beat Chelsea to the signing of Brazilian winger Raphinha by making Leeds a huge bid for the forward.
The Times are reporting that Barca “are ready to make an offer worth up to £60 million” after their “financial position altered dramatically” on Thursday.
The Catalans announced earlier in the day they had agreed a deal with Sixth Street to sell 10% of their television rights for €207.5 million.
Barcelona will now offer “an initial payement of €60m with a further €10m to follow in add-ons,” according to the report. The Catalans are hoping Leeds will agree to the deal and know already that Raphinha would prefer a move to the Camp Nou.
