Chelsea are ready to spend cash on centre-backs, wingers and forwards, but it is believed that they can bring in another central defender, left-back, new goalkeeper and offensive midfielder, all of this depends heavily on Premier League finishes and players they can sell (Simon Phillips).

Chelsea supporters have lost some effect since the turn of the year, and are particularly keen to see fresh attack options appear. Christopher Nukank, Joan Felix and Carney Chukhuemeka may all be sold or rented (Simon Phillips).
Ideally, Chelsea needs a versatile offensive player that can cover a lot of bases, both in the middle and in the wide outside.
Who is an ambitious target in this respect, but undoubtedly perfect is Barcelona’s Superstar Rafinha.
The former Leeds United forward enjoys a season of his life at Barca under Hansi Flick, earning 30 goals and 23 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions, allowing him to play in multiple areas of the offensive front three.
Rafinha has recently linked to a move to Chelsea, but a new report from catch-offside claims that it could cost Brazilian International up to £77 million to win an award from Camp Nou.
Chelsea is now a “strong” candidate to sign Rafina
The outlet also argues that both Rafina and Barca are struggling to reach an agreement over a new contract because players’ wage demands are currently too high, and can only be agreed if new terms lower them.
Their volatile financial situation even allowed Chelsea to give him a chance to return him to the Premier League.
Certainly, Chelsea is considered to be a “strong candidate” to sign Rafina amid this contract fiasco, but Bruco also has to pay him a high salary.
Arsenal and Liverpool have also been selected as front runners for Rafina along with Chelsea. If Exit is on the card for him, it’s rare to deny that the controversial player in Laliga will be a major upgrade of the season.
“He’s always 100% very focused, giving him a lot of strength to his defense, as well as giving him a lot of strength to his offense, which is incredible,” Flick told TNT Sports Brasil.
“He’s always a player who starts dynamic presses, but when we have space, he started at the right moments in these spaces, and that helps us a lot.
“He’s always smiling. This is what I like most, he’s always positive and it’s important that he’s positive. This is a big deal. And you’re confident you’ll give 100% on the pitch.”
