Keepie-uppies are on the agenda for Raphinha this afternoon as he concludes his Leeds United stay with an unveiling at Barcelona’s training ground today. As has become customary with big-money signings in La Liga, the Brazilian will sign his contract before being shown off to supporters.
Balls will be juggled and the famous Barcelona colours will be worn, the Catalonian giants have announced this morning. At 12.30pm BST, Raphinha will sign his deal in private at the club’s Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper facility.
Then, from 1pm BST, Raphinha will do a public signing on the Tito Vilanova pitch at the training ground before a photo session in the new kit. A press conference will follow at 1.45pm BST.
