Barcelona announce agreement to sign Raphinha from Leeds United (ESPN)

Barcelona have beaten Chelsea to the signing of Raphinha after reaching an agreement with Leeds United for the Brazilian winger on Tuesday.

Barca's agreement with Leeds comes following weeks of negotiations, with the Premier League side pushing for a deal similar to the one they agreed with Chelsea worth in excess of €70m. ESPN revealed in June that Leeds had also accepted an offer from Chelsea for Raphinha, 25, but the player's desire to move to Barca has allowed the Catalan club to win the race for his signature. The Catalan club confirmed the news in a statement Tuesday, beating Chelsea to the signing of the Brazil attacker.

Raphinha Makes "Dream" Move To Barcelona In Record-Breaking ... (Sports Illustrated)

Raphinha landed in Barcelona on Wednesday to sign for the La Liga giants in a record-breaking transfer from Leeds United.

I'm hopeful for him to get this deal done because I know it's his dream to play for Barcelona.” So I'm hopeful for his sake, as much as it's hard to see him leave. Leeds manager Jesse Marsch told the Yorkshire Evening Post earlier this week: "As much as it's really hard to lose Raphinha I will say this about him – if you think about a young man, who was pretty much guaranteed to go on a reduced transfer fee 100 per cent to Barcelona if we were relegated and then you watch the performances and the commitment he had to making sure that the club was going to stay up.

With a deal in principle agreement already in place, Barcelona can soon register Raphinha once the player passes his medical in Catalonia. Advertisement.

One of the new signings in Kessie is already tipped to feature in his first game for his new club, during the upcoming friendly against Olot later this evening. Upon completion of his medical, the Leeds United forward is set to become the third major signing for FC Barcelona this month, joining a list that includes Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen. Anticipating an exit this summer, the forward had been training in England rather than joining the Leeds United camp on their pre-season trip to Australia. And it appears it is only a matter of time before the Brazilian can be unveiled as a Barça player.

Barcelona sign Raphinha from Leeds United (Playing for 90)

After weeks of negotiations, Barcelona have officially announced they have signed Brazilian winger, Raphinha, from Leeds United.

The 25-year-old is already in Barcelona ahead of his medical. Some speculated Raphinha’s signing depended on Dembele but that has not been the case. Somehow, someway, Barcelona managed to stave off competition from Chelsea who had already agreed with Leeds on a transfer.

Dembele Renovates Contract With FC Barcelona (Forbes)

"FC Barcelona and the player Ousmane Dembele have reached an agreement for a contract until 30 June 2024," a statement read from the La Liga giants.

"Dembele was 20 years old when he joined Barça in the summer of 2017 from Borussia Dortmund, and made his debut on September 9 against Espanyol, contributing an assist to a 5-0 win. Through a litanny of assists, he helped Barca qualify for the Champions League next term but was still linked with moves away from Camp Nou to the likes of Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain. But despite his highly promising start, he never quite managed to get into his full stride due to an unfortunate string of different injuries," the club said of the 2018 World Cup winner.

Ousmane Dembele signs new Barcelona contract until 2024 (ESPN)

Ousmane Dembele has agreed a new contract with Barcelona until 2024, the Catalan club confirmed on Thursday.

Barca told him to find a new club in January after failing to strike an agreement over a renewal. Any incomings at Camp Nou remain dependent on Barca selling another 15% stake in their domestic television rights. There was a breakthrough in recent days, though, and Dembele has finally agreed to commit his future to Barca for the next two years ahead of rejoining preseason training this week.

The Frenkie De Jong transfer saga shows what a mess both ... (Deadspin)

Barca is in $1.57 billion in debt yet still bringing in new talent.

On the other, you have a club that can’t seem to learn the errors of the past and wants to drop cash on a player that doesn’t fit. On one side, you have a club so desperate to raise cash they have to try and weasel out of money they owe to a player they never really should have bought in the first place. The reason he’s been something of a misfit at Barca is that’s not how they traditionally play, preferring to pass their way through the field. And de Jong doesn’t fill their biggest need, which is security in the midfield, not creativity. If Eriksen or de Jong or Fernandes don’t have the ball, what exactly are they doing? Yes, this is still the same Barcelona that, thanks to their debt and spending levels, couldn’t re-sign the greatest player of all-time last season. Meanwhile, on the United side, on the surface, you can see why manager Erik ten Hag wants to work with a player in de Jong whom he had at Ajax and achieved so much with. Well, if you live in any metropolitan area in the US, you’ll be familiar with Barca’s ploy of selling off future income for a current splash of cash that ends up looking like a felony three to four years down the road. Even by the time teams return for preseason training in July, most everyone is sick of it, and the players and managers having to answer questions about it all the time certainly doesn’t help. De Jong is still only 25 and can be part of an overhaul. It’s the interminable book you had to read in high school English in the digital age (so, for me, To Kill A Mockingbird. It’s boring as shit, folks). It starts in June, and usually takes until somewhere around the window closing at the end of August to come to a conclusion one way or the other, though it feels like years have passed when it does.

Y la aventura que comienza Káiser de Michoacán tiene similitudes que invitan al optimismo.

Barça was always my first option, and we are all happy and eager to start.
