Leeds United hero Raphinha is a Barcelona player, but there have been contrasting reports on the financial situation of that deal.
Raphinha was a hero at Elland Road and he lit things up for Leeds United in his two seasons with the club. In fact, it’s been just over five years since Leeds’ Raphinha and fish and chips ordeal when signing.
