Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club posted footage of Raphinha scoring for Brazil last night, in a 4-1 win over Uruguay.
What’s the story?
Well, the Leeds fans aren’t too happy about the club’s tweet.
The footage was captioned: ‘Now the world sees, what we see!’
As you can see below, the Leeds fans are now paranoid that Raphinha is going to be poached by a bigger club as his reputation enhances.
That is a fair concern. When you see the £17m man rubbing shoulders with people like Neymar, it’s obvious he’s moving up in the football world.
Now, the challenge for Marcelo Bielsa and Victor Orta is to move up the football ladder with him, or they risk being left behind by the 24-year-old.
If Leeds cannot match Raphinha’s ambitions, there will surely be plenty of clubs queueing up to sign him.
Who might poach Raphinha from Leeds?
We’re sure the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid will look at Raphinha soon, but for now, Liverpool sound very interested in him.
The winger’s agent, ex-Chelsea man Deco, admitted that Liverpool made contact in a bid to sign the South American over the summer.
His comments came after the Independent revealed that Liverpool have been monitoring Raphinha for the past six years.
Clearly, the Reds are big fans of the Leeds No.10.
Nevertheless, we believe Raphinha will stay at Elland Road for the next few years, at least.
It would cost an eye-watering sum to get him out of Yorkshire, and he seems extremely happy at Leeds.
Despite that, the supporters can’t help but feel worried.
For now, let’s see what they’ve been saying about the club’s tweet on Raphinha…
