Barcelona making move for Leeds winger Raphinha

Barcelona are making a move for Leeds winger Raphinha.

Raphinha, whose contract doesn't expire until June 2024, has caught the eye during his two seasons at Elland Road, becoming a Brazil international off the back of his fine form too.

The 25-year-old's displays have earned him suitors and according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, they have grown with Barcelona joining the list.

Discussing Barca's stance on Monday, Romano claims the Spanish giants are in the running for Raphinha and face a battle with Liverpool for his signature.

He adds that talks have already been made between Raphinha's camp and Barcelona's over a move with the player represented by Deco, who played at the Nou Camp for four seasons between 2004 and 2008.

Deco now also acts as Barca's chief South American scout.
