Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have made a ‘concrete’ move to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha in the summer transfer window, according to UOL.
The report in the Brazilian media outlet has claimed that Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all have made moves to sign the winger from Leeds.
The 25-year-old has reportedly turned down the offer of a new contract with the Whites.
Raphinha has a release clause of £70 million in his current deal, and the former Rennes star wants that to be reduced for him to put pen to paper on a new contract.
Leeds do not want to do that, so talks are not going on as well as expected, according to the report.
Could Liverpool sign Leeds United’s Raphinha?
In our opinion, if Leeds do not want to sell Raphinha for anything less than £70 million, then there is nothing that Liverpool can do.
There is nothing that the winger can do either.
After all, he has a contract with Leeds.
In our view, Leeds should not accede to Raphinha’s demands of a reduction in his release clause for him to sign a new deal.
Especially if Leeds survive in the Premier League.
Leeds should do their utmost to keep Raphinha’s value as high as possible.
