Liverpool aren’t entirely out of the race to sign Leeds winger Raphinha, according to reports in Spain — though perhaps even they might concede defeat after the extending of Mohamed Salah's contract was announced.

Liverpool have been linked with the Brazilian throughout the 2021/22 season and into the summer.

In a year’s time, the discussion around Raphinha could be different even after a renewal for Salah, but he likely won’t be a Leeds player by then.



A whole host of teams, from Chelsea to Tottenham to Barcelona, have also been in the race to sign Raphinha.

It allows Elliott to get more game time in a position that is close to the role he had while starring at Blackburn two seasons ago, and it allows him to develop in his own time, with Salah firmly the number one in the role.

For the Brazilian and Liverpool, it's just a case of bad timing.
