Although Liverpool is known to have many established forwards, it is unlikely a move to the Merseyside club will be feasible for the Brazilian, given how much he is likely to cost. Leeds United turned down an offer from West Ham United in the winter. Since they were hoping to tie up the Brazilian to a new deal.
Despite the fact that the former Stade Rennais winger has not decided to renew his contract with Yorkshire club so far. The Peacocks will be able to sell him during the summer transfer window.
Barcelona could steal Raphinha from Manchester United
Manchester United should be able to take advantage of this Raphinha availability to bolster its attacking options. A new signing can also be made available in the summer when Rashford and Martial leave the club.
