Victor Orta sets record straight on Raphinha after Leeds United release clause claim

Leeds United director of football Victor Orta has set the record straight on the details of Raphinha's contract after it was claimed the winger has a release clause in the case of the Whites remaining in the Premier League. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on his Twitter account that the Brazil international has two release clauses in his contract, covering the possibility of both top flight survival and relegation to the Championship.

He claimed that €75m would be required to prise Raphinha away from West Yorkshire if Leeds stayed up but later provided clarification on the matter, insisting there is only a clause in place if Jesse Marsch's men are relegated and that the fee required would be €25m.

Orta has moved to erase any lingering doubts over Raphinha's contract by confirming there is no release clause in place if Leeds keep their heads above water.
