Leeds United News Roundup: Raphinha’s £84m Price Tag, Sunderland’s Transfer Boost, and More

As the international break comes to a close, Leeds United prepares for their upcoming match against Swansea City on Sunday. Manager Daniel Farke will welcome back his international players, including Ao Tanaka and Brenden Aaronson, for a crucial winter schedule.

Raphinha’s Price Tag Revealed

Reports have emerged that Barcelona has slapped an £84m price tag on former Leeds United winger Raphinha, amid interest from Premier League clubs. Arsenal is said to be preparing an offer of around £75.2m, but Barcelona considers Raphinha a “fundamental pillar” and will try to hold out for £100m.

Raphinha’s impressive form at Barcelona has caught attention, with 12 goals and eight assists in 17 appearances. His performances have earned him the captain’s armband in Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s absence.

Sunderland’s Transfer Boost

Sunderland has received a significant transfer boost as midfielder Chris Rigg is expected to stay beyond January. Despite interest from Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Crystal Palace, Rigg has expressed no desire to leave the Black Cats mid-season.

The 17-year-old’s continued presence will bolster Sunderland’s promotion chances. Rigg has scored three goals in 14 appearances, helping the Black Cats top the Championship table.
