      by

      And he was superb during his first campaign under Marcelo Bielsa, netting eight times and assisting 11 in 38 appearances.
      He has already scored three goals in seven Premier League games this season, picking up where he left off before the summer despite Leeds’ dip in form.
      The playmaker also netted his first international goals for Brazil earlier this month, scoring twice against Uruguay in a 4-1 victory.
      But Rivaldo, who played for some of the biggest clubs in the world such as Barcelona and AC Milan, feels Raphinha should now be looking towards bigger and better things at club level.
      Speaking to Betfair, he said: “Raphinha performed well on his debut for Brazil, but he was already shining in the Premier League with Leeds United and there are rumours of interest from Liverpool.
      “If he were to make the move, he may not be a regular starter, but I’m sure it would be a big step in his career since it would allow him to compete for titles and play in the Champions League, which could be crucial for more call ups into the Brazilian national team.

      “He has the quality to player for a bigger club.
      “He is playing excellent football and a player always wants more and stronger challenges, so he would benefit from a transfer.”
      Leeds have struggled for results at the start of their 2021-22 campaign, winning just one of their first eight Prem games.

      Bielsa’s men currently sit 17th in the table ahead of their home match against Wolves on Saturday.
      If Raphinha is to leave imminently, Leeds have been linked with Chelsea man Ross Barkley as a potential replacement.
      The former Everton midfielder has also reportedly attracted interest from Newcastle and Burnley. More

      by

      Manchester United have been long-term admirers of the winger.

      So SunSport rounds up some of the biggest transfers that could get over the line in January…
      Ollie Watkins or Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Arsenal
      The Gunners need a new striker with Alexandre Lacazette’s contract expiring at the end of the season.

      Donny van de Beek to Everton
      He wanted out of Old Trafford in the summer but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blocked a last-minute loan to the Toffees.

      Raheem Sterling to Barcelona
      The England winger continues to struggle for game time under Pep Guardiola this term and Barcelona could be set to pounce.
      Apparently, the Catalan giants have the funds, despite their financial mess, to stump up £60million for Sterling.

      Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea
      The RB Leipzig midfielder, who scored a hat-trick against Manchester City in September, worked under Thomas Tuchel at PSG and could be reunited with the German.
      The 23-year-old’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has confirmed he is in talks with Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid over a 2022 switch – but the Blues may swoop and get a deal done early.
      Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is also a target but Chelsea face competition from Juventus for his signature.

      Paul Pogba to PSG
      The ongoing saga surrounding Pogba continues with his current Manchester United contract expiring next summer.
      The Red Devils want him to make a decision on his future by Christmas but failure to do so could see the club sell him on the cheap in January rather than lose him for free with PSG ahead of Real Madrid and Juventus in the race.

      Pau Torres to Man City
      That’s right – Manchester City are being linked with yet another centre-back with the Etihad club ‘well positioned’ to land the Villarreal ace.
      United and Tottenham have wanted him in the past but Pep Guardiola likes his compatriot and wants him as further competition for Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Nathan Ake.

      Allan Saint-Maximin to Liverpool
      Newcastle’s exciting winger certainly catches the eye with his dazzling runs and trickery – and it has not gone unnoticed at Anfield or Stamford Bridge.
      Liverpool looks the likeliest destination but it would surely take a mammoth bid to convince Mike Ashley to sell one of his best players amid a relegation dogfight.

      The Edgware outfit is second from bottom on the table with Dover, who started the campaign with a 12-point deduction, the only team below them.
      Barnet’s head of football Dean Brennan confirmed the decision to dismiss the former Liverpool and Leeds star was taken because of the team’s poor start.
      Brennan said: “It was clear how much Harry Kewell wanted to have a positive impact, but ultimately the results and the poor start to the season have dictated our decision.
      “The plan for this season was for Barnet FC to be challenging in the top half of the table and that is still very much our aim.”
      Kewell’s assistant Paul Butler is also departing from Barnet with Brennan taking over on a temporary basis.
      That means he will become the sixth person to be in charge of the club this year.
