Barcelona target £70m-rated Premier League star to replace Dembele
Leeds United winger Raphinha is a reported transfer target for Barcelona.

Therefore, Barcelona are looking at Raphinha in a bid worth £35 million (€42m). But Leeds will expect double that, leaving a final transfer fee at around £70 million (€84m) instead. [Daily Mail]
