Rafa Mujica tells Marca why he’s joined ‘big and historic’ Leeds United

Rafa Mujica is done. Finally.

The potential transfer was first reported in Spain in early May, when it was claimed the then Barcelona B player had already signed a contract with Leeds United.

His deal at the Camp Nou was coming to an end, and with Barca wanting to bring through younger options in their attack, such as the very highly rated Abel Ruiz, it was time for Mujica to try his luck elsewhere.

The 20 year old has signed a three contract at Elland Road and will be part of the club’s U23 squad initially, with Leeds confirming it’s with a view to him training with the first team.

Mujica spoke to Marca just after completing his transfer to the Championship club, and is clearly very pleased with what awaits him in England: “My dream was always to make the jump to English football and it is a great challenge and a pride to be linked to a big and historic club like Leeds, in addition to being able to work under the orders of a prestigious technician like Bielsa.”

Marcelo Bielsa is certainly a selling point for Leeds United at the moment, and that it’s been made clear Mujica could soon train with the first team probably shows the youngster was attracted by learning from the Argentine.
