According to The Mirror, Leeds United have no plans to sell Raphinha this summer and actually want to add more quality alongside him.

Signed from Rennes for just £17million in October, Raphinha has been one of the breakout stars of the Premier League season.

The Brazilian winger has racked up five goals and five assists in just 21 Premier League outings, tormenting full backs in the process.

Raphinha has been praised for weeks now, and that £17million fee is looking more and more like a bargain – especially with mounting interest.

The Mirror note that Liverpool and Manchester United are both keen on Raphinha, with Leeds surely in a position to demand a huge profit.

However, the report states that Leeds don’t want to sell Raphinha, and instead want to invest in more quality to support the winger moving into next season and beyond.

Raphinha himself is described as being ‘happy’ at Leeds, having struck up great friendships with Helder Costa and Patrick Bamford.

This is great news for Leeds fans and no doubt a massive relief, with Liverpool and co needing to pay up big money to even get the Whites thinking about a deal.
