Fresh updates on Barcelona’s interest in Leeds United winger Raphinha have emerged on Sunday.
Raphinha joined Leeds during the delayed summer transfer window of 2020.
The Yorkshire outfit are believed to have paid Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais around £16m to bring the Brazilian to Elland Road.
And the former Sporting CP man has since gone on to enjoy a fine stint with Leeds.
In 30 Premier League outings last term, Raphinha would score six and provide nine assists.
And, though Leeds as a squad have struggled, the South American has continued to impress on an individual basis this term.

Barcelona could offer Leeds a player as part of Raphinha deal
Such fine form has seemingly piqued the interest of Barcelona, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano having provided an update on the situation on Sunday.
According to Romano, Raphinha has a £75m release clause in his contract if Leeds stay in the Premier League, or a £25m one if they go down.
In turn, as the Whites could yet be relegated this term, Barcelona are waiting before they make their move:
Raphinha’s contract includes two release clauses: 75 million in case Leeds will stay in PL, 25 million if relegated. That’s why Barcelona are waiting to make their opening bid. 🇧🇷 #FCB
Personal terms not an issue. Barça are in advanced talks with his agent Deco since February.

Elsewhere, as per Goal, citing Spanish outlet Sport, Barca could offer Oscar Mingueza to Leeds as part of a deal for Raphinha, with the Yorkshire club having made enquiries over the full-back, who has seen his game time at the Camp Nou reduced since the arrival of Dani Alves, in the past.
