Slavie’s cat to the Premier League? Leeds already have a replacement for Raphinha!

Leeds United missed out on relegation by just 3 points in the Premier League last season. Moreover, they had to change their coach during the season when Marcel Bielsa was replaced by Jesse March. He did his job, led the club to salvation and now some really interesting signings are starting to come in.

Luis Sinisterra opened the spring with his goal in Feyenoord’s first match against Slavia Prague, in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League. Then he finished it all in the second game, when he destroyed the Slavs’ hopes of reaching the semi-finals with Feyenoord’s third goal.

The fast-footed Colombian also did well in the Dutch Eredivisie, where he scored 12 goals and 7 assists in 30 games. His performances have caught the attention of English side Leeds, who will pay €25 million + bonuses for the winger.

He is likely to replace Brazilian Raphinha, who is on his way out, at the traditional English club. Chelsea offered 60 million euros for him, which Leeds readily accepted.

However, Barcelona, which the player himself prefers, has also stepped in. However, Chelsea’s offer is more favourable for Leeds, who are willing to pay the amount immediately.

Another player leaving Leeds is Kalvin Phillips, who is leaving permanently to Manchester City for €42 million. However, the club has already found a replacement for him as well. Twenty-three year old Tyler Adams is coming from Leipzig for 20 million euros. The player was wanted by Jesse March himself, who managed him at Leipzig at the beginning of the season.

However, several reinforcements have already been announced by Leeds. They include a pair from Salzburg, midfielder Brenden Aaronson and Danish defender Rasmus Kristensen.

Another player is Marc Roca from Bayern Munich, who has not made a name for himself in the German side. The club is also offering more than 30 million euros for a talented Belgian, Charles de Ketelaere.
