Chelsea still retain interest in a Barcelona star after failing to sign him last summer.

The Blues were heavily linked to then Leeds United star Raphinha, who opted for the Catalan giants instead.

However, Sport in Spain claims that Chelsea still love Raphinha and will come in for him in the summer.

The forward has struggled at times under Xavi at Barca this season.

With Ousmane Dembele in outstanding form and Ansu Fati close to his best, Raphinha may be surplus to requirements next term.

In such an instance, Chelsea would not hesitate to put in an offer for the player.
