Leeds star Raphinha is a top target for Barcelona and now president Joan Laporta has confirmed their interest in the Brazil winger.
The Spanish giants are planning an overhaul of their squad and Raphinha is their No 1 objective. Barcelona have very close relations with Raphinha’s agent Deco and speak regularly to their former player.
Laporta claims Deco has given them “great reports” on Raphinha as that the Portuguese is someone “who has helped us a lot”. Laporta name checked Raphinha unprompted on Catalan Radio Station RAC 1 when discussing Barcelona’s summer targets in a sign that his transfer is a deal they are actively discussing.
