Leeds United will reinvest money brought in from the sales of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha to sign ‘three more players’, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Whites look set to bring in around £100million through the departures of their two prized assets as the club continue to rebuild the side after last season’s nail-biting relegation scrap.
Midfield lynchpin Phillips looks certain to go to Manchester City, with the Premier League champions agreeing an initial £45million fee for his signature. The 26-year-old is pencilled in for a medical on Friday, with personal terms not thought to be causing any problems.
Raphinha, meanwhile, could go to one of several suitors. Chelsea had an initial offer of £55million accepted by Leeds earlier in the week after Arsenal had their opening offer rejected. The winger’s preferred option is Barcelona, but they were priced out of the race amid their financial problems - although a recent cash injection from the sale of their television rights may put them back in contention.
