# Leeds: Whites preparing Raphael Guerreiro contract offer

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) are reportedly preparing a contract offer for Borussia Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro.**

### The Lowdown: Contract situation

Labelled an [“amazing player”](https://twitter.com/archiert1/status/1394214402224758789?lang=en) by Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic, Guerreiro has been with the Bundesliga side since 2016. The Portugal international has made [209](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphael-guerreiro/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/170986) appearances for the club, contributing to an impressive [76](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphael-guerreiro/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/170986) goals.

The 28-year-old will soon be entering the final [six months](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphael-guerreiro/profil/spieler/170986) of his Dortmund deal, though, and it looks as if Leeds are readying their move.

### The Latest: Leeds update

According to [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/transfer-news-exclusive-january-approach-stylish-borussia-dortmund-star-victor-orta-fix-long-term-issue) on Sunday, the Whites are planning to sign a specialist left-back in the New Year.

They claim that Leeds are ‘preparing a contract offer to lure the star to Elland Road’, which appears to be a potential pre-contract agreement.

### The Verdict: Ambitious

Leeds aren’t the only side keen, with Juventus also name-checked with an interest in the latest [report](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/transfer-news-exclusive-january-approach-stylish-borussia-dortmund-star-victor-orta-fix-long-term-issue).

A move for Guerreiro, who looks set to represent his country at the [World Cup](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/world-cup-2022/), appears to be an ambitious one, especially as the player has featured in the Champions League over the last [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphael-guerreiro/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/170986) campaigns.

Therefore, he may not find a move to Yorkshire appealing at first, but hopefully, the lure of the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) and regular game time could persuade him, which would allow Pascal Struijk, who has filled in for Junior Firpo at left-back so far this season, the chance to return to his natural centre-back role.
