Rafinha was open to the idea of continuing in the English Premier League and we reached the best possible deal with Chelsea, but all of a sudden Barcelona came into the picture. “and I don’t know where the money came from. If money comes out like this, we’re going to have a global problem.”
Of his confidence in the possibility of getting the money for the deal from Barcelona, he said: “I will wait until September 2nd and if I don’t get the money, there will be global public opinion against them in all the media.
