Leeds chief talks Raphinha’s release clause amid Barcelona rumors

Leeds United’s director of football, Victor Orta, has been talking about Raphinha’s release clause amid speculation the winger is wanted at Barcelona.

There have been reports that Raphinha has a €75m clause in his contract that drops to €25m if Leeds are relegated from the Premier League.

However, Orta, says that’s not quite the case and has clarified the situation if the Whites do end up staying in the English top flight.

“Fortunately, Raphinha’s career-management is led by a top-level player – Deco. He knows how to handle it. I have had several conversations with Deco.
