Leeds United have reportedly rejected Arsenal ’s opening offer for star winger Raphinha.
The Gunners are interested in a deal for the Brazilian this summer with Mikel Arteta keen to bolster his attacking options ahead of the 2022/23 campaign. They made their first tangible attempts to secure his services on Monday night with their opening offer.
It remains to be seen just how much the north London side tabled but according to The Athletic, the bid fell well below Leeds’ valuation of the former Rennes man and was rejected as a result. That does not appear to have deterred Arsenal though who are expected to retain their interest in Raphinha and intend on potentially making him their third acquisition of the summer window.
