# Leeds: Raphinha move reportedly agreed

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) and Barcelona have finally reached a €60m (£50.7m) agreement for Raphinha, according to [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/barcelona-close-on-ousmane-dembele-new-contract-raphinha-terms-agreed).**

### The Lowdown: Transfer saga

Raphinha’s future has been a hot topic of conversation this summer, with the Brazilian seemingly keen on a move to the Nou Camp. Leeds [accepted](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1545546336589709312) an offer from Chelsea last month worth £60m, but the 25-year-old has been holding out for a move to Spain.

Raphinha has [remained](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1545779485714309120) in England to resolve his future, with Jesse Marsch taking a [26-man squad](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/30067/australia-squad-list-confirmed) to Australia for a pre-season tour, and it looks as if there has been a breakthrough in talks.

### The Latest: Leeds accept £50m+ offer

[90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/barcelona-close-on-ousmane-dembele-new-contract-raphinha-terms-agreed) shared a story on Saturday morning regarding Raphinha’s future and a move to Barcelona.

They claimed that Leeds have accepted a revised offer from Xavi’s side worth €60m (£50.7m). The Catalan giants will reportedly stagger payments, with various performance-related add-ons also included.

### The Verdict: Not ideal

It looks as if Andrea Radrizzani and the Whites will receive just over £50m for their star attacker in what will be a 16% discount on Chelsea’s £60m offer.

That isn’t exactly brilliant news, but it’s clear that Barcelona has been the move that Raphinha wants, and it looks like he’ll get his wish.

He played a key role in keeping Leeds in the Premier League last season with [11](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphinha/leistungsdaten/spieler/411295/plus/0?saison=2021) goals and [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphinha/leistungsdaten/spieler/411295/plus/0?saison=2021) assists, which meant that a [£25m](https://talksport.com/football/1073185/release-clause-leeds-raphinha-fabrizio-romano-barcelona/) relegation release clause didn’t become active.

Therefore, when you take that into consideration, £50m isn’t a disastrous figure and will still result in a [£33m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54415316) profit on the Brazil international within two years of his arrival in Yorkshire.
