Leeds United have, on Wednesday, confirmed that they have an agreement in place with Spanish giants FC Barcelona for the transfer of Raphinha.<\/p>\n

Raphinha has been one of Leeds\u2019 most impressive players during their most recent stint in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

And after the Whites only just avoided relegation last term, it was clear Raphinha was destined for greater things.<\/p>\n

This saw a number of clubs show an interest in the wide-man this summer, two of which were Arsenal and Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Arsenal did seem to come close to agreeing a deal with the South American early in the window before Chelsea\u2019s interest emerged.<\/p>\n

However, both London outfits have now been beaten to Raphinha by Barcelona.<\/p>\n

As per Leeds: \u201cWe can confirm that an agreement in principle has been reached with FC Barcelona for the transfer of Raphinha.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe player will now undergo a medical in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, it has been reported that Raphinha will sign a deal with the Spanish outfit until 2027.<\/p>\n

As for a transfer fee, Barcelona will reportedly pay \u20ac58m as a guaranteed fee, with add-ons potentially taking that sum as high as \u20ac67m:<\/p>\n
