Fabrizio Romano has responded to Barcelona winger Raphinha revealing that he at one level got here near becoming a member of Manchester United as he spoke to CaughtOffside for his unique Day by day Briefing column.
Raphinha didn’t make it clear when he got here near becoming a member of Man Utd, however Romano has clarified that it was when he was a teenager, fairly than lately, so it appears he wasn’t set to go away Leeds for a transfer to their rivals.
The Brazil worldwide shone throughout his time within the Premier League with Leeds, but it surely hasn’t fairly gone as easily for him since his transfer to the Nou Camp, so one imagines he is likely to be one to observe when it comes to a transfer again to England in some unspecified time in the future.
Romano says that received’t be occurring this January, however for the summer season he merely mentioned we’ll have to attend and see, so maybe that implies Barca wouldn’t be towards promoting the 27-year-old.
“I’m conscious that Raphinha has attracted consideration by saying he practically joined Manchester United, but it surely’s an previous story actually – when he was tremendous younger Man United had been however then the deal was not accomplished. It’s nothing latest,” Romano mentioned.
He added: “As for now, his future is at Barcelona for the January window, then once more in the summertime we are going to see what’s subsequent.”
United may do effectively to strengthen their assault after the shortage of impression from Antony, who performs an identical function to Raphinha, so will probably be attention-grabbing to see in the event that they revive that curiosity in him from all these years in the past.
