Some Leeds United fans on Twitter were worried that the club had sold Raphinha to Liverpool and not Rafa Mujica to UD Las Palmas.
What’s the story?
Okay, so here’s what happened.
On Friday, Leeds announced on their official Twitter page that Mujica is joining Las Palmas on a permanent deal.
This is the tweet that the Premier League club posted.
Leeds also posted a statement on their official website about the 22-year-old forward’s exit.
Leeds United fans taken aback
Now, some Leeds fans thought that the club were saying that they were selling Raphinha.
