Leeds United

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has pledged to work with Jesse Marsch next season after the American ensured their Premier League survival.

Leeds fired Marcelo Bielsa in February as defeats began to mount and their relentless, all-out attacking approach meant the side were leaking goals. "As a board we will work hard with Jesse Marsch this summer to improve the squad and find a way to deliver the kind of performances you all deserve. "This has been a painful season for everyone, from the board to the fans in the stands, the changing room to the ticket office, it has been a battle," wrote Radrizzani in a message to supporters.

Leeds United have avoided relegation - and Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has suggested that he did Raphinha and co a favour on Sunday.

Raphinha took to Instagram after the final whistle to celebrate, stating that the photos of him with the Leeds fans speak a thousand words. However, Leeds produced a 2-1 victory at Brentford as Raphinha scored a penalty to open the scoring. Leeds United have avoided relegation – and Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has suggested that he did Raphinha and co a favour on Sunday.

As Jesse Marsch's attention turns to an Elland Road rebuild, Leeds United could be in line to make a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams.

I speculated back in April that he could be a player we looked at, given the obvious links to Marsch and Red Bull, and here we are. The energetic DM isn’t a regular at his current club and could be looking for a move, according to journalist Tom Bogert: As Jesse Marsch’s attention turns to an Elland Road rebuild, Leeds United could be in line to make a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams.

Neville said: “I think Leeds are going to go down, by the way. The Whites had a 78% chance of relegation in comparison to Burnley’s 22%, which shows just how much they thought the Clarets were better placed than Leeds to stay up.

Barcelona will only move for Leeds United's Raphinha if Ousmane Dembele leaves the Spanish giants in the summer.

And even if Barcelona ultimately move for the Brazil international, they are expected to have a tough time negotiating a deal for him with Leeds, as they are likely to ask for a significant amount. The winger has been heavily linked with a move away from Elland Road in the summer, with Spanish giants Barcelona keen on him. And Barcelona will only move for the 25-year-old if their star Dembele leaves Camp Nou when his contract expires in June.

Raphinha (until 2024) Jesse Marsch has already confirmed the academy is set to play a key role in his philosophy moving forwards and so the squad could be set for some changes this summer. For that reason, and as stated by Andrea Radrizzani yesterday, work will already be underway ahead of the summer as they look to bolster the squad.

Barcelona want to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha in the summer but it won't be easy to prise him away after the Whites secured Premier League safety.

It looks like this is going to be a long drawn transfer saga, with plenty of twists and turns in it. According to Catalan newspaper Sport (May 23, page 13), Raphinha will be more expensive for Barcelona after Leeds avoided the drop. The Brazilian wants to join Barcelona, but things are now more complicated.

Leeds United's rebuild is already under way with a move to sign RB Salzburg's Brenden Aaronson at an advanced stage.

Should big money offers come in for the England international from Champions League clubs however, the Whites could have a job on their hands to keep their prize asset, given his age and ambitions. But even when he came to Salzburg, Salzburg knew about him before I joined.” Staying in the Premier League will allow Leeds to name their price for the Brazilian and it will also give them a much greater chance of agreeing a new contract with Kalvin Phillips.

Leeds were able to secure their Premier League status on the final day of the season.

At the bottom the economic disappointment is devastating, watching what’s happening at Burnley now, a buy-out, leveraging £75m to be paid back very quickly and Leeds would’ve been in significant danger or trouble as well from finances side of things. He was also quick to admit his surprise at Leeds coming away from Brentford with all three points after the Bees’ form in the second half of the season. Gary Neville has heaped praise on Leeds United for handling the pressure situation of a final day relegation scrap.

Keith Hackett has insisted that Leeds United were "lucky" not to have their winner disallowed in the huge 2-1 victory over Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

“I think that’s why it wasn’t [disallowed], but he is in the line of sight, he’s lucky not to be given offside. We’re delighted to welcome former Premier League referee Keith Hackett to the MOT Leeds News team. Leeds would have stayed in the Premier League without that goal in the end, with Burnley losing to Newcastle in an amazing 24 hours for the Whites.

Kalvin Phillips says Raphinha has been 'unbelievable' for Leeds after survival, following Sunday's 2-1 win over Brentford in West London.

He ran his socks off, he was a threat and when the crucial moment came, he took it with aplomb. His performance, and subsequent celebration at Burnley was the opposite. “Raph’s been unbelievable ever since he has come through the door.

However, it is probably the key piece of business needed this summer. “ Additionally, Leeds are said to be working on a deal for a Premier League striker, although there’s no name provided in the report.

Jesse Marsch has hit out at prejudice he says he has faced simply for being an American, since taking over at Leeds United.

I'm a big communicator so I try to engage everybody to make them feel part of what we're doing and that's what galvanised our group more than anything." Whatever. I don't care, I'm not changing who I am, I'm going to be the leader that I want to be and work hard with the group I work with and find ways to grow and get better and succeed, that's what we did." Some people dont allow that kind of behaviour to happen and will treat me based on what I am or what our team is, that's ultimately what it should be. Any one thing the American says they want to just jump on and they want to then ridicule and find holes. Marsch's main point about the Manchester City defeat was that those games still have to yield positives and tangible benefits for the team's long-term growth, even if the scoreline doesn't immediately reflect that. At 4-0, it's a crazy thing to say but I truly believe that."

The knowledge that Raphinha could be the key piece of jigsaw - alongside a couple of others – may pique his interest. He, like Kalvin Phillips, may want to satisfy his ambitions of playing European football which will certainly be on his mind in the knowledge that he is moving into his prime years. Scoring that goal could have scuppered his chances of a dream move to Camp Nou but helping Leeds could have been more important to him. Barcelona’s interest is going nowhere but Raphinha will have been fully aware that his chance of a move to Catalonia will have decreased with Leeds maintaining their Premier League status. Initially with the purpose of greeting his nearest and dearest, the 25-year-old was soon chanting with those that have come to adore him in the last two years. The fact that a slight drop-off in form combined with the timing of the rumours of a potential summer move to Barcelona was purely coincidental.

Let's remember where Raphinha went at full-time, first dancing in the stands with the fans, second walking the pitch on his knees with god.

The aim remained to sell him to a club in Europe for a big price, when there was a chance there to attract players around him who could make Leeds that club in Europe. Raphinha has built his career up to now on making people look stupid, whether it was the Brazilian clubs who ignored him and left him to compete for attention among the rejects at the várzea tournaments, the Rennes board who let him go for less than they paid for him, or now the board at Leeds, who despite having him fall into their laps in October 2020, got to May 2022 with a team entirely reliant on their Brazil international winger’s skills and mentality and a coach whose response to questions about width is to say “we know where the goal is and it’s not in the corner”. At Brentford, with so many senior players on the sidelines, we never needed Raphinha more than when he embodied the best of the last few years at Leeds, dragging the club away from the trapdoor. I don’t know if we ever truly got the best out of Raphinha. He was the great unplanned joy of our first two seasons back at the top, a surprise gift from his agent when Rennes decided to let him go. Canos was booked for his celebration, then booked again for a needless foul on Raphinha, his red card overdue from the last time I saw him behaving so stupidly, headbutting Gjanni Alioski’s back and getting away with it on a day Pontus Jansson ended up banned for swearing about the referee on Sky Sports. At first Leeds seemed bewildered to be playing against nine, and Jesse Marsch said afterwards Raphinha was asking him, ‘Do we need to win?’ Marsch told him yes, but the true answer was maybe it depends, because if nothing changed at Turf Moor, a draw was fine. The contrast with the game Burnley played at home to Newcastle says a lot to United’s credit. It didn’t last: the longer Leeds played, the more doubtful they looked, but early in the second half Brentford’s goalie David Raya panicked, passed to Raphinha, then fouled him. He could have given up, but like the class of 2020 that he took to so well, he concentrated instead on giving everything he had. Not two wins, but enough; and signs against Brighton and Brentford that with more shoving on Southampton and Crystal Palace the relegation risk might not have gone to the final day. In common with them, in the end, was Raphinha, using whatever got him from Porto Alegre to Yorkshire to make sure that, if and when it gets him to Barcelona, it’s only at Burnley’s expense. For most of May Raphinha looked frustrated and forlorn, shoved to right wing-back to face teams who, in the Champions League next season, he can expect to be outfoxing with his skills helped by the standards around him. Would he mean anything more to us, in the end, than a wondrous two season distraction, our first viral nutmegger of souls? Something about Leeds United’s ascension was forged in Yeovil, and Chesterfield, and Northampton, the austere origins of Ayling, Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas driving them up and away from a world they wanted to leave behind. The set jaw, the glowering eyes, the bristling injustice operating like static on a manbun; it got Leeds to safety in the end, but it wasn’t being worn by Billy boy.

Leeds’ green light will be enough to complete the deal as Barcelona already have an agreement in place with Raphinha over personal terms. Seeing Leeds had already rejected a €35 million approach earlier, Barcelona are willing to make the last push by including Oscar Mingueza as part of the deal. The opportunity to sign someone like Mingueza, therefore, could be difficult to turn down.
