Deco promises Leeds United not to take advantage of Raphinha any clauses – report
Deco has promised Leeds United not take advantage of any future clauses to force the exit of Raphinha.
That’s according to Tutto Mercato Web journalist Giacomo Lacobellis who has shared that Barcelona are in pole position ahead of Manchester United and Liverpool.
Lacobellis has reported that Deco will instead look to find a reasonable economic agreement for all clubs potentially involved.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, Lacobellis shared the latest news coming from the agents’ side.
“About Raphinha: Deco promised Leeds that they will not take advantage of any clause, but instead find a reasonable economic agreement for the two clubs,” he said.
“The FC Barcelona is on pole, but Manchester United and Liverpool are also very interested.”
Promises.
We have come to learn that promises mean next to nothing in football.
Deco isn’t really making a great name for himself at Elland Road among the fanbase given that he is already behind our backs looking for the next move for his client.
Victor Orta did admit he has a good relationship with Deco but did hit back at claims the Brazilian had a release clause in his contract [Mundo Deportivo].
Thankfully, Raphinha has kept his head down at Thorp Arch and is now getting ready to face Southampton after missing the win at Wolves.
We are all expecting the winger to move on in the summer, but with this so-called promise in the works, hopefully, we can get upwards of £50million.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what Deco or Barcelona do or promise, it is down to Leeds to share how much they want – if you want Raphinha, pay up.
