Liverpool sent Raphinha message as Leeds United make transfer decision

Leeds United have made a final decision on Raphinha's future, according to reports.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for the winger for quite some time and their interest in the player is well known.

However, the Mirror claim Leeds have no intention of letting the Brazilian in January and are looking to extend his current contract.

The report reveals that Leeds’ director of football Victor Orta held two meetings with the player's agent Deco before Christmas and hopes to hold a second round of contract talks this month.

Leeds signed Raphinha for £17 million from French side Rennes in October 2020 and he's made a huge impact since his arrival at Elland Road.

It is believed that the club sees Raphinha's long-term future with them as they look to reward him for his success so far with a bumper new deal.

Manchester City and Bayern Munich have also been credited with interest in the player, as reports emerged from Brazil last week that the latter were closing in on a deal.

However, it seems Raphinha won't be on the move anytime soon.

Raphinha has scored eight goals in 17 Premier League appearances so far this season, having already bettered his goal tally from last term.

The Echo understands that West Ham's Jarrod Bowen continues to be a player of interest at Anfield.
