Liverpool still remain in the running for FC Barcelona’s top target Raphinha who is reportedly close to making the move to Camp Nou.
The Brazil international winger, who has been one of the standout performers for an otherwise embattled Leeds United outfit this season, has earned attention from the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea in England’s top flight.
Barca supposedly have a promise from the in-demand Raphinha that he would join the Catalan giants in the summer but Liverpool are backed to be very much in the fray for the player’s signature.
A report from the Spanish news outlet Sport has claimed that the Anfield camp could hijack Barcelona’s approach for the Leeds United man by tabling a big-money wage offer that would trump the one put forward by the La Liga heavyweights.
Jurgen Klopp has long been keen on launching a bid for the Brazilian on the back of his stellar displays at Elland Road as the Red boss remains on the hunt for reinforcements in the attacking third to bolster his ranks.
