Leeds United’s hopes of retaining a key player this summer seemed bleak at first, but now there is optimism as Raphinha could play a vital role in keeping him at Elland Road next season.
While several Leeds players have already departed, including Archie Gray to Tottenham for £40m, the club faces continued interest in the likes of Willy Gnonto, Illan Meslier, Ilia Gruev, Glen Kamara, Junior Firpo, and Georginio Rutter.
Among them, Crysencio Summerville has garnered the most attention, with reports suggesting Eddie Howe could be interested in acquiring the talented winger, potentially selling Miguel Almiron to do so.
Raphinha, who replaced Summerville in the Leeds squad, has also been linked with a move away from Barcelona, with Mundo Deportivo reporting that the Spanish giants are open to an £80m exit. Newcastle and Saudi Arabia are potential destinations for the Brazilian star if he does leave Barcelona.
