Bayern linked with swoop for Raphinha

Brazilian report claims Bayern are closing in on Leeds United's Raphinha.
Bayern München are set to sign Brazilian winger Raphinha from Leeds United in January, according to TNT Sports.

Per the Brazilian media outlet, the 25-year-old is set to move to Allianz Arena next month for a fee of around €50 million.

Bild reports Bayern are indeed interested in a Brazilian player.

However, the German tabloid also claims Bayern aren't planning to sign any players in January and that Raphinha is unlikely to come unless the Bavarians sell one of their current wingers.

Raphinha has made 16 appearances this season, racking up eight goals and an assist.
