Raphinha
was
excellent
for
Leeds
this
past
season,
finishing
second
for
the
team
in
matches
started
(35),
first
in
goals
scored
(11),
second
in
assists
(three)
and
converted
all
four
penalties
he
was
entrusted
with.
Barcelona
have
been
viewed
as
the
primary
suitor
for
the
Brazilian
winger,
but
with
the
price-tag
continuing
to
rise,
there
is
doubt
about
how
the
Spanish
giants
could
pull
it
off.

STORY
–
LEEDS
TO
HAND
OUT
NO
DISCOUNTS
FOR
RAPHINHA
The
Athletic
is
reporting
that,
as
it
stands,
Barcelona
will
not
have
the
funds
to
complete
a
move
for
Raphinha
–
or
anyone
close
to
his
price-tag.
LaLiga
president
Javier
Tebas
controversially
shared
that
Barca
are
in
no
position
to
sign
Robert
Lewandowski,
but
added
that
some
big-name
sales
could
“fill
up
their
tank,
which
is
empty”.
The
Blaugrana’s
continued
interest
in
Raphinha,
despite
their
financial
position,
adds
fuel
to
the
fire
of
a
potential
Frenkie
de
Jong
sale
to
Manchester
United,
with
his
reported
£72.5m
price-tag
potentially
adding
some
much-needed
spending
power.
The
Athletic
also
mentions
Manchester
City’s
Bernardo
Silva,
Valencia’s
Carlos
Soler,
Sevilla’s
Jules
Kounde,
as
well
as
Chelsea
duo
Cesar
Azpilicueta
and
Marcos
Alonso
as
potential
Barcelona
targets.
