Barcelona 'prepare two offers' for Raphinha
Leeds United's star winger, Raphinha has been subject of heavy interest from Barcelona for some time and the Catalan club are said to be stepping up their interest as the season draws to a close. It has been reported that the Whites would want a fee of £60-70million should they remain in the Premier League, while it's believed that the Brazilian has a reported £25million release clause, should Leeds be relegated.
According to the Telegraph, Barcelona are preparing two separate bids. They will be prepared to negotiate with Leeds over the price, should the Whites stay up, whilst they want to get ahead of other clubs who will match the release clause if Jesse Marsch's team are relegated, by agreeing a fee beyond that in advance, which would come into play in the event of relegation.

Leeds 'could sign' both Aaronson and Johnson
In terms of incomings, two players who have been heavily linked to the Whites are Brenden Aaronson and Brennan Johnson. Both would surely only be signed if Leeds stay in the Premier League but journalist, Dean Jones has stated that Leeds may try to bring in both attackers if possible.
He told footballfancast: "I think they could get both if they stay up because they’re going to be ambitious and they know that the squad needs strengthening in all areas. So, stay up and I think they’ll go for both players."
Goalkeeper set for summer talks
Elia Caprile has been out on loan from Leeds for the last season and his agent has been speaking about his future. Caprile is currently playing in the third tier of Italian football but his agent has spoken about his lofty ambitions to play for the club he supported as a boy. Speaking to Correire Dello Sport, he said:
"His father is a true Neapolitan. Elia is part of an important club like Leeds. We will discuss (his future) with the club at the end of the season. We have not spoken with (Napoli director Cristiano) Giuntoli. Definitely, playing at Napoli is the boy’s dream but it is useless to cause a fuss.
"Elia is at Leeds, which is a great club. They are not well placed in the table. In the case of relegation, all the scenarios change."
