Unnamed Premier League Club Table Raphinha Bid

According to Gabriel Sans, a reporter in Spain, an unnamed club have tabled a bid for Leeds United star Raphinha.

Sans claims a bid of €70m is being considered by Leeds, €15m of that fee coming in add-ons. The report goes on to say the bid is not from Barcelona and Leeds have grown 'weary of waiting'.

If reports on the interested clubs are to believed, only three clubs are likely to have submitted this bid.

Arsenal had a first bid rejected on Tuesday night and are expected to return with a higher offer for the Brazilian, who they are determined to sign this summer. They are the most likely cause of the bid.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are also interested in Raphinha.

Tottenham's interest has been reported as strong, but the winger is not seen as their first option. Chelsea are in a similar boat, they appear to be prioritising Raheem Sterling this summer.

Raphinha is expected to leave Leeds this summer. His first choice, Barcelona, appear to have almost dropped entirely out of the race as they experience troubles with finances. The Brazilian is however, willing to move away to another club despite having his heart set on the Spanish giants.

Arsenal have started this window very aggressively, having already completed deals for Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira. They are expected to move forward with their other targets, including Raphinha, in a bid to push forward next season under Mikel Arteta.
