Leeds United actively looking for Raphinha replacements
Leeds United have reportedly begun the process of finding a replacement for Raphinha, amid his links with a move to Barcelona.
According to the Daily Mail, they are braced for big exits this summer and to avoid a panic situation behind the scenes, they are 'actively looking for replacements' for the Brazilian.
Despite seeing a £21million bid rejected in January, RB Salzburg's Brenden Aaronson is still a transfer target they could pursue in the summer.
Summer of change
This summer was supposed to be the time Marcelo Bielsa was to officially bid farewell to the club.
After four glorious seasons at Elland Road, he achieved what nobody thought he would.
However, bad results in recent months led to him losing his job and Raphinha could be following out of the door as well.
While he's not had his best of times recently and he was dropped on a few occasions as well, the quality is there for everyone to see.
There's a good chance that he may not be the only big name departure in the summer, as other players are also linked with exits.
Jesse Marsch has a huge job on his hands to rebuild this Leeds squad and ensure they manage to avoid relegation next season.
That said, he would also need to convince players like Kalvin Phillips and Illan Meslier to believe in the project or there's a good chance that they might start questioning their future plans as well.
