Speaking on the Here We Go Podcast, Fabrizio Romano has named Raphinha as a player to keep an eye on next summer, stating that many clubs, including Liverpool, have his name on their list of potential targets.
We all know about Liverpool’s interest. After all, just last week his agent confirmed that Jurgen Klopp’s side were keen on the Brazilian.
However, Raphinha has now reportedly caught the eye of a number of clubs, not just Liverpool.
The Brazilian has been excellent ever since joining Leeds and last week he proved that he could do it at the international level, netting a brace for Brazil against Uruguay.
As you can imagine, this has caused many clubs to sit up and take notice of the winger and Romano is led to believe that many clubs have an eye on the 24-year-old.
What’s been said?
Romano delivered an update on Raphinha.
“Raphinha we talk about the Leeds player, the PSG player started at the weekend, so I’m happy for Rafinha, but football is always giving you something back if you work hard. The Brazilian one of Leeds has been incredible with the national team. At the moment with Leeds it’s not an easy moment. It’s true that Liverpool wanted him as his agent revealed, but Leeds had no plans to sell him. He will be a player to watch next summer, many clubs have Raphinha’s name on their list, not just Liverpool,” Romano said.
Battle
Leeds are going to have a real battle on their hands to keep Raphinha.
If Liverpool and a number of other clubs are keen on the Brazilian, then it’s going to be tough to shrug off their interest.
Leeds have gotten off to a poor start this season, so it’s fair to say they won’t be playing European football next year, and if Raphinha has offers from Champions League contenders, it would be understandable if he wanted to move.
This is certainly a situation to keep an eye on.
