Noticed this on the Liverpool page, what's interesting is that since the last time Ed002 told us about Raphina, it looks like we are now in talks and if a "good offer" is made he might be interested. Just pray we are not daft enough to put in that out of jail Barcelona card - (Also, thought I'll save some work for your Ed002 and post it here so that we don't keep asking the same question, I hope you don't mind) .

{Ed002's Note - Raphina (RW) Deco is working with his old club Barcelona to see through the transfer. The issue is that Leeds want a single cash payment of around €60M but Barcelona cannot achieve that at this point in time. Deco will offer him elsewhere but will ask for a "Barcelona" get out clause - one club has already rejected that. PSG were looking to Raphinha as one of their list of potential Di Maria replacements. The interest to Bayern Munich has gone. Interest of Liverpool would only be as an option to replace Salah and again they have not spoken with Leeds as Salah will be looking to rund down his contract. Chelsea have watched Raphinha as they are looking to change wide players but an offer seems unlikely unless the request for the clause is removed. Arsenal and Spurs have both been approached by Deco and Arsenal have spoken to Leeds as they have a pressing need to add a wide player. Leeds will look to resist but if a really good offer were made from any leading club then the player would likely be interested in a move. The player very much wants Barcelona. }.

Agreed mate, I don't mind him coming as long as he doesn't not have any "Bye-I'm-Going-To-Barcelona" clause.

I wouldn't mind the Barcelona clause with a few stipulations. Purchase after 1 year, 100% profit (ie £120mil) , after 2 years, 75% profit, 3 years 50% profit, 4 years 25%profit, then out of contact. Means they'd have to pay a premium if they want him and has to be a one off payment each time lol.

Knowing how we have done sales it will likely be that we sell him for 10 million after a year.
