Has Raphinha left Leeds United for Bayern Munich? The latest 2022 Winter Transfer window news and rumours

Raphinha is one of the most exciting wingers in the Premier League and has made a big name for himself ever since joining Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United from Stade Rennais last year. Since then, the 24-year-old winger has been heavily linked with a move away from Elland Road, especially with teams such as Liverpool keen on signing the Brazilian international.

He has continued his form this season but his flair and exciting runs have failed to make Leeds even a top 10 team. They are currently battling relegation and it is clear that Raphina wants to play for a more solid team. So, has Raphinha left Leeds United for Bayern Munich? We explore this latest news from the 2022 January winter transfer window.

2022 Winter transfer window latest news- Has Raphinha left Leeds United for Bayern Munich?

According to TNT Sport Brasil, a reliable outlet based in Raphinha’s home country, claims that Bayern Munich have agreed a deal in principle to sign Raphinha for a fee of around €50million. The news comes as we are less than a week into the winter transfer window. The fact that it comes from a Brazilian outlet gives it a bit of added validity.

It is unclear why Bayern would want Raphinha considering the amount of talent they have in their ranks. But it could be because Kingsley Coman is all set to leave the club very soon considering the Bavarians are nowhere near the bloated salary figure that he is demanding. That will leave a big gap in Bayern’s squad, and Raphinha could fill that.

That being said, Raphinha hasn’t left Leeds United for Bayern Munich as of now. There is nothing coming out of English media regarding this deal and once trusted sources claim a deal has been agreed, we can prepare for Raphinha’s exit. Leeds can use this money to strengthen elsewhere.

It will be almost triple the amount they paid to the Ligue 1 side when they signed him. Leeds paid €18.6million for him, and they have basically made a big profit if Bayern’s fee for him is confirmed and final. That being said, nothing is final until the clubs announce it. There would need to be a medical as well so if Raphinha flies out to Germany in the coming days, it would confirm the news further.
