Leeds United hijack  £21m move before January kicks off – report

Leeds United pictured eyeing £21m move ahead of January window – report

Barcelona will pay Leeds United £21m by the end of 2023 for Raphinha’s forward move.

The whites could not bring so much money in the summer window because the number of players on loan was huge.

After the sale of Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips in the summer of 2022, it is very clear from the state of Leeds’ Championship that the players who replaced those two were not up to the standard required.

What’s the latest from Raphinha? Raphinha left for Barcelona for £55 million, led by his agent and current Barcelona sporting director Deco. He has done quite well in La Liga so far, winning the league title in his first season. He joined Barcelona due to their enormous financial problems, launching financial “leverage forces” to achieve notable signings such as Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and many others.

Now, Football Insider reports that Leeds will have to pay a huge fee from the Catalan giants before the turn of the year and the January window.

They claim Barcelona should pay Leeds £21m, but that doesn’t mean the La Liga giants are out of the woods just yet, with long-term fees still to come.

It follows claims by local publication Ara that Barcelona still owe hundreds of millions in transfer fees to Leeds and others, while the Whites have essentially defaulted on payments owed by Barcelona, ​​with interest income also rising. bank
