Leeds United winger Raphinha would fit in well at Barcelona if he was to move to the Camp Nou.
That’s according to Brazilian legend Ronaldinho, who says he would like to see his fellow countryman playing for the La Liga giants next season.
There has of course, been a huge amount of speculation linking Raphinha with a summer move to Barcelona in the past few weeks.
Indeed, recent reports have even claimed that the winger has agreed terms on a five-year deal with the Catalan club.
However, it seems that so far, there has been little progress between Barcelona and Leeds, when it comes to agreeing the terms of the sale of the 25-year-old.
15 questions about Raphinha’s time at Leeds United – can you get 100%?
Now though, it seems that Ronaldinho is one person, who is hopeful that terms will be agreed between the two clubs, so that Raphinha can play in the same Barcelona shirt he previously did so famously.
Speaking to Marca about the prospect of Raphinha joining Barcelona, the 2002 World Cup winner said: “I would very much like him to come, he has a lot of quality, he would fit in very well with Spanish football due to his playing characteristics.”
This feels like high praise indeed for Raphinha.
If a player who was as good and as influential as Ronaldinho wants you to play for a club he has such a strong connection with, then you know you are doing a lot of things right.
That however, is unlikely to be good news from a Leeds perspective, since the verdict of someone such as Ronaldinho, is one that many people, not least Raphinha himself, will likely be paying attention to.
As a result, it could now be even harder for Leeds to retain the services of Raphinha beyond this season, meaning they are facing a big loss on the pitch.
