Liverpool could offer five out-of-favour players to Leeds United this summer to try and tempt the Yorkshire club into a part-exchange deal for Raphinha, say reports.
The Brazilian has enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa, scoring four goals and providing four assists in 17 league games so far.
Leeds don’t want to sell and will demand at least £25 million for a player they shelled out £17m for just last summer, when he joined from French side Stade Rennais.
Liverpool face a huge test to successfully defend their league title this season, as Jurgen Klopp’s side are 10 points behind league leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand to come.
