Earlier this week, the summer transfer rumour mill suggested that Leeds United had already secured a deal for Barcelona B starlet Rafa Mujica and the expectation was he would arrive at Elland Road over the summer when his existing deal came to an end.
Report Claims Leeds Have Already Done A Deal For Talented 20 y/o
The original report is linked above to save overly repeating myself here, but the 20-year-old versatile talent is highly rated and the last youngster we poached from them hasn’t done too badly so far – Kun Temenuzhkov.
In any event, Spanish outlet Sport have now claimed that contract talks between the player and Barcelona B have now stalled owing to the reports of a pre-contract with us being signed.
This shouldn’t have any effect on our deal, but it should heighten potential expectations about the development curve we believe the youngster is capable of going on as if Barcelona did want to keep him with their B side, that’s obviously a feather in his cap.
