The Brazilian national team has been attracting attention from several clubs, with Barca, Chelsea and Arsenal all submitting offers over the past few weeks.
Chelsea were able to sign a £ 55m deal with Leeds last week, but they haven’t reached an deal with Wing yet.
Meanwhile, Barca agreed with Rafinha a few months ago on personal terms, but so far failed to meet Leeds’s rating.
Rafinha’s agent, Deco, met with the Barcelona hierarchy at least twice this week after Chelsea reached an agreement with Leeds.
However, Rafinha categorically claims that Rafinha’s taste is to join Barca this summer.
“We talked to Leeds, I don’t think they’re offended. We communicated and talked personally,” Laporta said.
“What happens is that there are other clubs that want Rafinha and make suggestions. He wants to eat.”
Laporta also proposed that Barcelona would not withdraw the contract offer of Usmanu Dembele, whose contract expired on Thursday.
“He is the one we are very grateful for and the coach is very happy with him,” said Barca’s president.
“It’s an economic problem, he answered us without saying yes or no.
“We maintain a good relationship with the player and have communication with the agent. If he accepts the terms we have offered, he will continue. If not, no.
“We haven’t set a deadline for signatures, levers, etc. We’ve activated the first lever, so we’ve released a lot of pressure. We’re working hard for both the player and the lever. increase.”
