In an exclusive report from TNT Sport reporter Bruno Formiga, Bayern approached the winter window to sign Brazilian winger Rafinha of Leeds United for a transfer fee of around 50 million euros. Rafinha's youth team, Avaí FC, will also receive a 3% gain, or around €1.5 million.
The reporter said bayern brought in Rafinha to replace Koeman because the French winger's contract extension negotiations with Bayern were not smooth. Winger tactics are Bayern's tradition, and the introduction of Rafinha can guarantee Bayern's dominance in the winger position.
Rafinha, 25, a Brazilian international who is also the offensive thigh of Leeds United' side, has scored eight goals in 16 Premier League games this season, as well as one assist. Rafinha is currently worth €32 million in Germany and is under contract with Leeds United until 2024.
Leeds United this season 3 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses accumulated 16 points in the 16th round of the Premier League, only 5 points more than the relegation zone, the team recently suffered three consecutive defeats, coupled with two major England internationals Phillips and Benford injuries, if the team sells Rafinha at a high price in the winter window, then Leeds United will face severe relegation pressure this season, and even a high probability of relegation crisis.
