Leeds United fans have been reacting to transfer claims that have emerged about Brazilian midfielder Raphinha and a possible exit.

The 24-year-old has made an impressive start to life in the Premier League this season, bagging five goals in his first 10 games and becoming Leeds’ top scorer this season in the process as one of the few bright sparks for a side that has only managed to win two games so far this season.

But according to reports in Italy, he could be on his way out of the club in the coming months. AC Milan are reportedly showing an interest in his services and note that he would be worth €30m (£25.1m) as they look to make a move for him in the upcoming January transfer window.

News of their reported interest was relayed to fans by the Leeds Insider Facebook page (via MOT Leeds News) for them to react to, and it’s fair to say that that they weren’t exactly delighted to hear the news, although some of them found it very hard to believe that they would be willing to let him go for that sort of fee:

Will Leeds sell Raphinha in January?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

Given how important he’s been to Leeds this season, you can understand where they’re coming from and why it might take a lot more than €30m to get him to move to Serie A this January.
