Barcelona has reached a deal to sign Leeds playmaker Raphinha and will also keep France forward Ousmane Dembélé at...

Dembélé performed well this past season after refusing to leave on a loan. Barcelona said it sent Portuguese forward Francisco Trincão on a one-year loan deal to Sporting Lisbon. The deal includes an option for Sporting to keep the 22-year-old player. Leeds also confirmed it had reached an agreement in principle with Barcelona.

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 have agreed a deal to sign Brazilian winger Raphinha from Leeds United, sources have confirmed to ESPN.

The arrival of Raphinha will not have an effect on Ousmane Dembele's future. 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, but the player's desire to move to Barca has allowed the Catalan club to win the race for his signature.

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.
