Leeds United have reportedly rejected an offer from Premier League side Arsenal for Raphinha who has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona.
Arsenal’s bid “fell well below Leeds’ valuation” and was been turned down by the Whites, according to The Athletic. There’s no detail on how much the Gunners offered, but it’s been previously reported Leeds want €55m for the Brazilian.
The report adds that Arsenal’s interest in Raphinha “remains strong” but Barcelona are “known to be his favoured option” as things stand. The Catalans’ ongoing financial issues means it’s not clear if they can sign the forward this summer.
