Following the many months of Barcelona chasing Leeds United star Raphinha, the Catalan side are having more issues with the transfer than they expected.
There was hope that with the Whites being relegated to the Championship, a clause would allow the winger to leave for only €25m, being an obvious bargain in the summer window.
Once the Elland Road side confirmed their stay in the Premier League, Spanish outlets warned that would be bad news for Barcelona, and we get to see a proof of it today.
According to a new report from Sport, Leeds United are demanding €70m to sell Raphinha.
It’s said the Whites understand they’re a club too ‘small’ for the player, respecting his ambition of making a move, and know this is the right summer to sell him, since there are two years left on his contract.
Sport even mentions that Barcelona could try to include a player in the deal, but Leeds are not willing to accept any ‘discards’ from the Camp Nou side.
It’s once again said Raphinha already has an agreement with the La Liga giants, who now try to convince the Whites of reducing the price.
