Liverpool are expected to sign a new forward this summer, with reported Barcelona target, Raphinha, a potentially ideal option at £47m – potentially £19m cheaper than £66m Darwin Nunez.
With a great deal of Premier League experience gathered already, the Merseysiders wouldn’t have to worry about an acclimatisation period beyond the necessary specifics around Jurgen Klopp’s tactical setup.
“As for Raphinha, Leeds want €55m paid without too many instalments,” Fabrizio Romano told Caught Offside.

Sorry lads but Mr Leeds Phil Hay has said the board are rightly looking for between £60-£70m for the player. The days of fire sales and giving our players away on the cheap have gone, as Barcelona or any other suitors will soon find
Raphina does not score enough goals, Nunez is s goal
Scorer ,,raphina imo is not good enough to replace mane ..Nunez is .. plus Antony is a better winger than raphina ..
