Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are about to miss out on Leeds United winger Raphinha to Barcelona, according to Sport.
Arsenal and Liverpool to miss out on Raphinha to Barcelona
Sport are reporting this morning that Xavi’s Barcelona could soon reach an agreement with the Whites over the transfer of Raphinha, described as “an exciting player” and “special” by Leeds Director of Football Victor Orta on COPE’s Great Match show
Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool all are keen on signing the Brazilian, while Chelsea have an agreement in place with Leeds over the transfer of the winger.
However, Raphinha wants to join only Barcelona, who could reach an agreement with Leeds anytime now, according to Sport.
The report in the Spanish publication has claimed that Raphinha could land in Barcelona as early as this coming Monday to complete the transfer.
Barcelona’s final offer for the former Rennes star is €55 million (£46.57 million) plus add-ons, less than the bid from Chelsea.
Decision imminent?
Based on the report in Sport, it seems that Raphinha’s future at Leeds will be sorted soon.
The winger is one of the best in the Premier League and is also a regular in the Brazil squad.
We think that the 25-year-old would be a great signing for Arsenal, Tottenham or Liverpool, but it seems that he is off to Barcelona.
