Will FC Bayern strengthen their attack with another winger? Interest in Leeds United star Raphinha is said to persist. But there seems to be a lot of competition.
The Italian sports journalist Nicolo Schira wants to know that in addition to the German record champions, FC Arsenal and FC Barcelona are said to be on the 25-year-old right winger’s turn. The Catalans, who have not yet been linked with the Leeds pro, are said to have been keeping a close eye on the player’s situation over the past few weeks.
The Brazilian international is the big star of the relegation-prone English side. Most recently, Leeds United lost six league games in a row and were shot down 0: 6 by Liverpool FC.
Raphinha, who is by far the team’s most dangerous player with nine goals this season, recently went down with the rest of the pros. In the past ten games he has only been directly involved in two goals (one goal and one assist). Talks about a contract extension were recently put on hold.
FC Bayern: Raphinha could become a bargain
FC Bayern and other interested parties could even benefit from this form crisis, since according to English media reports an exit clause of 20 million euros should be activated in the event of relegation.
Normally, interested parties would probably have to put around 40 million euros on the table for Raphinha. In order to prevent relegation and thus the breakup of the team, legendary coach Marcelo Bielsa was recently fired and ex-Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch was hired by Leeds United.
In Munich, the winger could be an alternative to Serge Gnabry. Contract talks with the German national player have recently stalled.
