According to Eurosport, Borussia Dortmund are looking towards Leeds United winger Raphinha as a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho.
It’s claimed that Dortmund are looking at wingers as they prepare to lose Sancho this summer, with a move to Manchester United potentially on the cards.
Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi and Lille ace Jonathan Ikone are believed to be on the wish list, but so is Leeds star Raphinha.
The Whites spent £17million on Raphinha on deadline day in October 2020, raiding Rennes in a deal that turned out to be a masterstroke.
Raphinha has racked up six goals and nine assists in his first Premier League season whilst terrorising defenders with his skill and technique.
The Brazilian talent has even been branded a ‘revelation’ by Leeds vice-chairman Paraag Marathe, and it’s no surprise that he is now a wanted man.
Raphinha seems very happy at Leeds, and it would surely take something very special to turn his head away from Elland Road.
Dortmund could make that offer though, giving him Champions League football and the chance to shine alongside Erling Haaland.
Leeds may not be worried just yet, but if Sancho does end up leaving Dortmund, they may need to dig in and fight to keep Raphinha.
