Barcelona make contact with Leeds for Raphinha

Barcelona are interested in signing Raphinha from Premier League rivals Leeds United in the summer transfer window, according to The Times. The report has claimed that Barcelona have made contact with officials from Leeds over a potential deal for the 25-year-old Brazil international winger.

Leeds are reportedly willing to sell Raphinha this summer, but the West Yorkshire club want £50 million as transfer fee for the former Rennes star. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also claimed to be keen on the winger.

Raphinha scored 11 goals and gave three assists in 34 Premier League starts for Leeds last season. The Leeds no. 10 scored six goals and provided nine assists in 26 Premier League starts in 2020-21.
