Chelsea are reportedly set to enter the race to sign Barcelona winger Raphina in the summer, although the Brazilian is said to be content at Camp Nou.

Chelsea are reportedly back in the hunt to sign Barcelona winger Raphinha in this summer's transfer window - less than a year after an attempt to lure the player to Stamford Bridge failed.

The Brazilian joined the Catalan club from Leeds United in July for a fee of £56m and has since appeared 26 times in La Liga for Xavi's men, scoring six goals and assisting on four occasions.

Having impressed at Elland Road in the Premier League during a near two-year spell, the 26-year-old attracted interest from elsewhere which ultimately concluded in the player moving to Camp Nou last July.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea will attempt to sign Raphinha again in the upcoming summer window despite the player deciding against a move to the London club after the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign.

The report also adds that the former Rennes man is content in Spain and does not currently want a move away from Barcelona - a factor which could make any deal difficult to achieve for the Blues.

Manager Xavi has given Raphinha regular gametime of late as he looks to find some consistency - the current La Liga leaders travel to relegation-threatened Getafe on Sunday afternoon.
