The north Londoners have a lot of competition when it comes to courting the left foot, who still has a contract with the LUFC until 2024. Tottenham are also said to be preparing an offer, Chelsea are also following what is happening around the right winger, and Raphinha is said to have agreed on personal terms with FC Barcelona months ago. The rumored transfer fee of 40 to 45 million euros is not high enough for Leeds for their second most valuable player. Barça are said to remain the Brazilian’s preferred destination. Only after that would the Blues and Arsenal come.
Arsenal have so far spent almost 45 million euros on newcomers
Should the Gunners get serious and offer more than €45m for Raphinha, the fifth-placed side of last season would be close to the 100m mark in transfer spending this summer. So far, a total of €44.86m has been spent on the signings of Marquinhos (19), goalkeeper Matt Turner (28) and Fábio Vieira (22), putting Arsenal in eighth place internationally. According to The Athletic, Leeds understand the ambitions of Raphinha, who was signed from Stade Rennes for €18.6m in 2020, and have no plan to prevent a move should the asking price be met.
