Manchester City will rival Barcelona and Liverpool in an attempt to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha this summer, according to a report.

Manchester City are reportedly set to rival Barcelona and Liverpool in the race to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha this summer.

The 25-year-old's form in recent seasons has attracted interest from a number of clubs, and the Brazilian has continued to impress this term despite Leeds' struggles, scoring nine goals in 27 Premier League appearances.

Barcelona and Liverpool have both been credited with an interest in Raphinha, and Sport reports that Manchester City have now joined the race for his signature.

Leeds are expected to demand that the £62.5m release clause in the winger's contract is met, with Raphinha still having two years remaining on his contract at Elland Road.

A move to Camp Nou is reportedly his ideal choice out of all the options, with Barcelona reportedly in pole position to win the race.

Leeds currently sit 16th in the Premier League table, seven points clear of the relegation zone but having played at least one game more than all of the clubs below them.
