Manchester City are interested in signing Leed star Raphinha this summer, according to reports.
Since joining Leeds for £17m in October, the Brazilian winger has impressed with his performances, and while he’s predominantly played on the right-wing this term, his versatility could make him an appealing prospect to Pep Guardiola.
Manchester United and Liverpool have also been linked with a transfer for the tricky forward, although it’s believed Leeds have no plans to sanction a move away from Elland Road for the former Sporting Lisbon and Rennes man.
The 24-year-old has played a key role in Marcelo Bielsa’s side consolidating their position in England’s top-flight upon their return to the Premier League this season, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists in all competitions.
