Leeds United could soon be reunited with a Marcelo Bielsa favourite.
Raphinha’s long-term future could see him back in England with reports suggesting a €60million bid from a Premier League club has been rejected by Barcelona. Leeds United sold Raphinha to Barcelona in a deal worth around £50m in July 2022, following their final-day win over Brentford that secured top-flight survival. It has not been plain sailing for the Brazilian since, with the increased competition among wide forwards seeing minutes limited.
A number of Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for Raphinha on account of his proven top-flight experience, including the likes of Newcastle United and Arsenal. This report also suggests Chelsea and Manchester United could look to make a move. Leeds did not insert any kind of sell-on clause in the deal which saw Raphinha head to Barcelona, having structured the deal in order to receive the money upfront. As such, they will not benefit from any sale.
