Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has stated that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to potentially make a ‘verbal proposal’ for Raphinha.
The Leeds United winger was expected to join Barcelona this summer, but with the Spanish club struggling to find the funds for a transfer, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs have entered the race for his signature (via The Athletic).
While the Gunners seem to be leading the interest at the moment from the Premier League clubs – having already seen one offer refused – Tottenham may well make a bid in the near future.
Indeed, while speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano explained his understanding of the situation, while pointing out that Antonio Conte is a ‘big fan’ of the Brazilian.
He said (4:40): “Tottenham they are really interested in Raphinha. They are discussing with Leeds a potential verbal proposal.
“So also Tottenham are in the race, also Tottenham want Raphinha. I understand that Antonio Conte is a big fan of the player. But at the same point, they know it’s a really complicated deal with many clubs into it.”
Should Spurs sign Raphinha?
Yes!
No!
