Live transfer market: last hour of the market closing and reactions

Raphinha asks permission to skip preseason

Raphinha has to decide her future and, at the moment, Leeds is not in her plans as her last request has shown. The Brazilian would have asked the club to skip the white club’s pre-season tour of Australia to try to close his departure.

His coach, Jesse Marsch, said he did not know if the Brazilian would be on the expedition to Oceania. “I don’t know. We’ll have to see what happens in the next few days. I think there is some urgency on his part to reach a solution. It’s not been an easy summer for him. Things come and go and there are a lot of little discussions At the moment, he is our player”, he sentenced.

The coach assured that the Brazilian’s professionalism is being maximum while he is part of the club. “He has shown a good attitude. We had a very honest conversation about what would happen while he is still here with us. We will see what happens. There is still a lot of transfer market left. I know he has his dreams and his hopes. Also that he loves this team and this club and he loves being here. We’ll see how things go,” he added.
