After weeks of speculation, rumours and debate, the first bid for Raphinha was submitted to Leeds United on Tuesday night. According to the Athletic, Arsenal were the club that made the first move, testing the waters with an offer that was deemed to be some way short of Leeds’ valuation.
Leeds are in a position to call the shots regarding Raphinha’s future and at this stage they have little need to sell, let alone at a fee that falls below his value. As such, the bid was duly turned down, but that offer is likely to be the first of several as the summer transfer window rolls on.
Barcelona have been strongly linked with a move for the Brazilian this summer, too, while Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have been mentioned as two clubs keeping tabs on the situation. With that in mind, Leeds Live take a look at options the winger is faced with.
