PERMANENT DEAL CONFIRMED: Leeds make approach to sign Brazilian midfielder in controversial deal….
Leeds United have confirmed a bold move to sign Brazilian midfielder Raphael Henrique in a deal that has already sparked controversy across the footballing world. The 24-year-old, currently playing for South American giants Palmeiras, has been a standout performer in the Brasileirão, attracting interest from several European clubs. Leeds, however, have moved quickly to secure a permanent agreement believed to be worth around £15 million.
What makes the deal contentious is that Raphael remains under a long-term contract, and reports suggest Leeds negotiated directly with the player’s representatives before receiving official permission from his club. Palmeiras are said to be furious, threatening legal action and calling the approach “unethical.”
Despite the tension, Leeds are pushing forward with the deal, reportedly agreeing personal terms with the player. Raphael is expected to fly to England for a medical in the coming days, with the club eager to finalize the move ahead of preseason preparations.
The signing signals Leeds’ ambition to bounce back to the Premier League, with Raphael seen as a key piece in their midfield rebuild. Fans are divided—some thrilled by the talent, others wary of the controversy surrounding his arrival. The saga may not be over just yet.
