Leeds United defender Diego Llorente has been quizzed by Spanish media outlet SPORT about whether or not Brazilian team mate Raphinha could make the leap to Barcelona. Raphinha, one of Leeds' most important players this year, has been consistently linked with a move to the Catalan giants throughout the 2021/22 season.
Had Leeds been relegated on the final day of the season against Brentford, the Brazilian would have been available for a cut-rate price compared to his current market value. As things stand, he will cost them a substantial amount following Leeds' survival.
A standout performer for the Whites this season, the 25-year-old winger scored 11 goals in 35 Premier League appearances this season. Llorente is currently away on international duty with Spain ahead of their June Nations League fixtures, which will see them face off against Portugal, Switzerland and the Czech Republic home and away.
