Rafinha has revealed that Chelsea made a final-day offer , the Brazilian has admitted.
The Bayern Munich man could have been another full-back player for Antonio Conte’s squad with the Italian already recruiting the likes of Alex Sandro.
Conte had approached his parent club, according to reports, but nothing came about.
Rafinha also revealed that he had had offers from La Liga, however, he wouldn’t reveal which clubs they were.
Speaking to the German press, the Brazilian admitted that “Bayern’s bosses know I already had offers from England and Spain before the season started.”
Things have gone much better for Rafinha this season: with Philipp Lahm retired and David Alaba injured, he has started five Bundesliga games so far. He only made 20 Buli appearances last season, bringing the possibility of leaving into the picture.
“I have Bayern in my heart and I always give 100 percent — they can always count on me.
“Therefore, I think those responsible understand that I really want to play, otherwise I will have to think about my future.”
Rafinha added: “I have a very good relationship and contact with the coach [Carlo Ancelotti] and I’m convinced I will get my game time.”
Chelsea were briefly linked with Rafinha over the summer as Antonio Conte sought more cover and competition for Victor Moses at right wing-back, eventually signing Davide Zappacota.
