Leeds United are confident that star winger Raphinha will put pen to paper on a 'huge' new contract, according to a report.
The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a number of Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham United, with the latter believed to have failed with a club-record offer late in the January window.
Leeds have been in talks with Raphinha and his agent, former Chelsea midfielder Deco, for some time over a contract extension, with his current deal at Elland Road set to expire in June 2024.
According to Football Insider, the Whites are prepared to make Raphinha the highest-paid player at the club, offering him a significant pay rise as a reward for his stellar performances over the last two seasons.
The report adds that Leeds are confident the Brazil international will agree to signing a new deal 'within weeks'.
Raphinha has excelled for the Yorkshire outfit since joining from Rennes in October 2020, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions.
