According to UOL Esporte, Manchester United’s interest in Raphinha has led to his agent getting ready to hold talks with Leeds United.
It has been reported that United are interested in signing Raphinha from Premier League rivals Leeds in the summer of 2021.
The Brazilian’s agent, Deco, a former Portugal international midfielder, wants to hold talks with the Leeds bosses and discuss the Red Devils’ interest, according to the report.
It has been further claimed that Raphinha is in regular contact with United attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes – who cost the Red Devils £47 million in transfer fees when they signed him in January 2020, according to BBC Sport.
The two attackers played together at Sporting Lisbon, and their friendship could reportedly play a role in the future of Raphinha.
Worry for Leeds United?
According to WhoScored, Raphinha has made 18 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds so far this season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in the process.
There is no surprise that United reportedly want the 24-year-old winger. Deco reportedly getting ready for talks with Leeds is a worry, as it suggests that Raphinha’s agent is open taking the Brazilian away from the Whites.
