Leeds United winger Raphinha has endured a difficult spell as of late, only bagging one goal and securing one assist in his last nine Premier League games.
He also missed the last game with Wolves after returning a positive virus test. His future is far from decided, with his exploits for the Whites attracting the interest of top clubs, with that of Barcelona coming to light recently.
Will Raphinha leave Leeds in the summer?
Yes
No
The Whites have reportedly decided not to listen to offers this summer for the Brazilian, but if the right offer comes in and the player is unhappy, there is obviously a chance a move materialises.
Raphinha posted the following on Instagram, with a positive message that translates to him saying that he’ll always give more back etc, with footballing legend Deco deciding to comment.
Deco of course, has been the man tasked with trying to engineer a switch to Barcelona according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, so it’s certainly eye-brow raising.
Raphinha’s importance to the Leeds side cannot be overstated, so it is no surprise they are prepared to make him their highest earning player in an attempt to keep him tied to Elland Road for a little longer.
In his 27 Premier League outings, the Brazilian has bagged nine goals and set three up for his teammates, making him top scorer for the Whites this season. The international break came at the perfect time for Leeds as it means Raphinha will be back after his Covid absence and only misses the one game.
