Leeds United star Raphinha sends Instagram message to Neymar
Leeds United star Raphinha has been grabbing headlines around the world in recent months after his Brazil breakthrough.
The Whites winger has become a recognised starter for Tite, scoring in his last outing last week against Paraguay.
Neymar has been playing alongside him, and it looks as though the two have formed a real partnership for the Samba boys.
Raphinha has sent a message to the Paris Saint-Germain star on Saturday morning, celebrating his birthday.
Writing on his personal Instagram account, on his stories, the winger admitted to being a big fan of his teammate.
“Congratulations,” he wrote.
“May God bless your life more and more, I’m your fan.”
Wonderful.
Imagine if we would have said five years ago that we would have a guaranteed Brazilian international in our squad.
100% of us would have laughed, but instead, we have Raphinha rubbing shoulders with the likes of Neymar in each international break.
We now hope that we can match his ambitions, hand him a new improved contract and push for Europe from next season.
Of course, we have to get rid of the immediate threat of relegation in the Premier League and then we can plan our next big steps.
No matter what happens, Raphinha is destined for the very top, everyone knows that, we just hope we can take huge steps very soon so that we’re also along on that journey.
