Transfer News: Done Deals, Chelsea Interested In Signing Raphinha, Rashford To Wait On Man Utd Deal

Chelsea are keen on Brazilian international Raphinha who joined Barcelfrom Leeds United in the summer, according to journalist Simon Phillips. The Blues have signed Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni Madueke during the January transfer window but are willing to let go of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It remains to be seen whether Barcelona decides to cash in on the forward as they are struggling to meet the FFP regulations of La Liga.

Marcus Rashford is ready to wait and see what Manchester United’s new owners put on the table before committing to a new contract. The England forward, 25, has only a year of his current deal left at the end of this season. The Glazers have been trying to get him on a new one since the start of the season. But with the club trying to impose a salary cap which sees the top earners get no more than between £200,000 to £300,000 a week, negotiations have stalled. Rashford has been offered the top figure but since then his stock has soared, following 27 goals in 44 games this term.
