Raphinha has 'urgency to come up with a solution' over his Leeds future, reveals Jesse Marsch - who admits he's unsure if wantaway £60m-rated Barcelona and Chelsea target will travel on pre-season Australia tour

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has conceded that talisman Raphinha is pushing for a quick resolution to his transfer saga - which could see him omitted from their pre-season tour of Australia.

Leeds' preparation for the new campaign has been disruped by Raphinha's situation - with Barcelona and Chelsea both battling to sign the wantaway winger this summer.

As detailed by Sportsmail, the Brazilian has attracted a lot of attention following his fruitful two-year spell at Elland Road, scoring a crucial goal in Leeds' 2-1 victory against Brentford on the final day of last season to secure Premier League survival.
