Raphinha sends message as Leeds United man trains alone at Thorp Arch amid ongoing Barcelona saga

Leeds United winger Raphinha has posted videos on Instagram of himself working at the Whites' Thorp Arch training ground.

Raphinha is set to leave Elland Road this summer, with the latest report from journalist Fabrizio Romano stating that Leeds are 'set to accept' a €58 million offer from Barcelona for the winger.

The 25-year-old posted five videos on his Instagram of him training at Leeds' Thorp Arch training base. The videos are a mix of running, passing and finishing drills. The caption on the post translates to: 'And for the talkers on duty. A kiss, a hug and lots of work.'

Many of the comments on the post are from Barcelona fans, already welcoming him to the club, even though the deal hasn't yet been confirmed. Romano says that the fee from Barcelona for Raphinha could rise to €68 million based on future add-ons, with a deal now in the 'final stages.'

The rest of the Leeds team are away in Australia on the Whites' pre-season tour, but Raphinha wasn't included in Jesse Marsch's 25-man squad for the trip. Raphinha moving to Barcelona will bring an end to his two-year spell in Yorkshire, after joining from Rennes in 2020.
