Leeds United fans may be fearing the departure of Raphinha in 2022, but agent Deco has completely disagreed with Transfermarkt’s valuation.
The Brazilian winger has been Leeds’ most potent attacking threat so far this season.
Raphinha already has three goals in seven games for Leeds this season, continuing to dazzle fans.
Now in the Brazil squad, Raphinha scored twice against Uruguay in the international break and his stock just continues to rise.
Leeds fears were heightened last week when Raphinha’s agent Deco claimed that Liverpool wanted the winger.
Deco has now been speaking about Raphinha again, this time talking about his price tag.
Transfermarkt have Raphinha’s market value set at €34million (£28.8million). That seems incredible cheap and nowhere near what Leeds would accept.
Deco has now been asked about that valuation, and he clearly thinks it’s something of a joke.
Speaking to UOL, Deco suggested that he doesn’t understand how Transfermarkt come up with these numbers.
Deco added that he now thinks Raphinha is now worth much more than that £28.8million valuation – something Leeds fans would absolutely agree with.
“I don’t know how they do it. I don’t understand Transfermarkt’s evaluations,” said Deco. “I think now [the market value] should go up,” he added.
