Newcastle United have reportedly made contact with Leeds United over potentially signing in-demand winger Raphinha from Elland Road this summer.
The 25-year-old, who is expected to depart Jesse Marsch’s side this summer, has been credited with interest from a number of clubs including Barcelona and Arsenal, but reports now claim that Eddie Howe’s side have been in contact with Leeds as they look to pursue an interest the former Stade Rennais playmaker.
However, the report suggests that while Newcastle are keen on monitoring the future of the nine-time Brazil international who has two years left on his contract at St James’ Park, they are not rushing to submit an official bid.
