Leeds star Raphinha has emerged as a top target for Barcelona as they draw up their summer spending plans.
The Spanish giants want to overhaul their squad and Raphinha is their No 1 objective, especially if they can offload Ousmane Dembele. Barcelona feel they have a trump card in their bid to sign the Brazil star because they have close ties with his agent Deco. The Portuguese is still revered at the Nou Camp from his time as a Barcelona player and speaks to them regularly. Although Barcelona have not made official approach to Leeds, the Elland Road outfit are well aware of their interest.
They understand the appeal of Barcelona to any player, but are adamant they will not sell Raphinha on the cheap. Barcelona are prepared to offer around £33.5million or 40 million euros for Raphinha and believe they can lure him to the Nou Camp.
